FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT 


To the Trustees and Members of The American Museum of 
Natural History, and to the Municipal Authorities of the 
City of New York: 


The President has the honor to submit herewith his ninth 
annual report, in which he directs attention especially to the 
very urgent need of enlargement of the building, to the unpre- 
cedented increase in the public educational work of the 
Museum, to the growth of the endowment fund, through the 
Jesup bequest, and to the problems which arise in connection 
with the scientific exploration and the research work of the 
institution. The attention of the Trustees and Members is 
further directed to the very full and interesting reports of the 
Director, of the Curators of the various scientific departments, 
of the Secretary and of the Treasurer. 


The Museum faces a crisis in its development which is 
without precedent since the year 1878, when it became apparent 
that the City was not carrying out its 
original agreement to maintain the insti- 
tution. The present crisis is not one of 
maintenance but of building. In 1878 the Trustees entered 
into an agreement with the City the substance of which was that 
the City would erect, equip and maintain the building, while 
the Trustees would provide the specimens and collections to 
be contained in the building. The continued support of the 
Trustees and friends, especially since 1888 when active and 
world-wide exploration began, has brought together the finest 
collections in the world, not only of great scientific but of 
equally great educational value. For many years past the 
contributions of the City have not been sufficient adequately to 
house and exhibit this material. No building has been added 
since the Southwest Wing, which was erected under the law of 
1905. In the meantime the collections have doubled in extent, 
and a number of important new departments of education has 
been opened with special reference to public needs. The

Pressing Need of More 
Building Space 


16 Report of the President 


Museum is in the position of a family that has outgrown its 
home, of a business that has outgrown its offices, of a manu- 
facturing concern that has outgrown its factory building, of a 
college or university that has outgrown its halls and dormi- 
tories. All available space of the present building, from attic 
to basement, has been utilized and collections have been 
retired from two large halls, formerly used for exhibition pur- 
poses, in order to make provision for the care and preparation 
of accumulating material. The Museum building is a large 
one, but it is comparatively small when considered in relation 
to the largest, wealthiest and most populous city in America, 
such as New York has now become. As shown in the last 
Annual Report, no city in the United States has public institu- 
tions in which so much has been accomplished at so little cost 
to the municipality. 

The most imperative need is the erection of the Southeast 
Wing and Court Building, at an estimated cost of $750,000. 
Plans of this building are published herewith. The need 
for this building has become so pressing that it raises the 
question as to whether it will not be wise td endeavor to 
provide such a building through private subscription. There 
is some doubt in the minds of the Trustees whether this may 
not establish an undesirable precedent. In other words, 
whether the donation of a building would not lead to the 
relieving of the people of the City of New York of their 
share of the responsibility and of their participation in the 
agreement of 1878, and which up to recent years the City has 
loyally observed. 


The inactive balance of $111,808.77 of the fund which was 

voted in 1911 toward the construction of the new Southeast 

: Wing and Court Building has been finally 

Case Construction, transferred to an Equipment Fund by the 
= re susie Board of Estimate and A ti f 

Maintenance pportionment for 

purposes of case construction and equip- 

ment for the present building. This transfer was recommended 

by the Comptroller and officially approved by the signature of 

Mayor Mitchel. The matter of case construction and equipment 
had become as acute as is now the question of new building.

Report of the President 17 


During the past year also the valuable precedent was 
established of providing by tax levy the sum of $15,657 for 
1916, to complete certain very necessary repairs and altera- 
tions in the building, which, because of insufficient funds, 
have been deferred from year to year, this upon the “‘ pay-as- 
you-go”’ principle recently adopted by the City, which takes 
the place of the previous uneconomic practice of meeting the 
expense of repairs partly out of special revenue bonds. Inas- 
much as the legal maintenance expenditures of the Museum 
exceed by more than $57,000 the amount of $200,000 which 
has been appropriated annually for the past three years, a bill 
was introduced into the Legislature, in joint action with the 
Metropolitan Museum of Art, removing the limitation to the 
amount of maintenance and leaving to the discretion of the 
Board of Estimate and Apportionment the maximum sum that 
might be appropriated.* For the year 1916 the Trustees 
recommended a maintenance appropriation of $225,000, and 
after a searching examination of the business administration 
of the Museum by representatives of the Board of Estimate, 
an appropriation of $212,999 was made, which includes the 
$15,657 allowed for repairs mentioned above. % 


It is very difficult to plan the ideal museum building, to 
meet all the modern requirements of lighting adequate for 
exhibition and yet non-destructive of the deli- 
cate hues and tints of the animals exhibited; of 
heating and air circulation which avoid the extremes of 
humidity and desiccation fatal to specimens of many kinds; 
of ventilation adequate for large numbers of visitors and yet 
free from dust; of casing and installation which shall protect 
and yet be unobtrusive; of arrangement which shall educate 
and be easy of comprehension. To meet all these require- 
ments in the new buildings which shall be erected in the near 
or remote future, the President, the Director and the Archi- 
tects have been continuously engaged on studies for the entire 
unfinished portions of the southern half of the Museum which

may be erected at an expenditure of between $5,000,000 and 
$6,000,000 when the means are provided. 

First attention has been given to the new Southeast Wing 
and Court Building, the ground plans of which are presented 
herewith, together with the proposed arrangement of the col- 
lections therein. This is the most imperative and pressing 
need of the American Museum at the present moment. These 
buildings will provide storage room; space for our large 
oceanographic and mammals-of-the-sea collections on the first 
floor; space for the animal life of Asia and Europe on the 
second floor; space for the superb collections of existing fishes 
and reptiles on the third floor, which are now crowded into the 
central pavilion and the adjacent gallery on the second floor, 
in the dark and out of sight; space for all life of the 
American continent prior to the Upper Cretaceous on the 
fourth floor, and offices, laboratories and storage room for the 
more delicate collections, on the fifth floor. It is believed 
that the plan of this building, which is the result of four years’ 
continuous study, will make the most perfect museum unit of 
its kind in the world at the present time. The exterior is 
in excellent taste. The Southeast Court is also gracefully 
designed and will make possible for the first time the exhibi- 
tion of the superb collection of whales presented by the late 
George S. Bowdoin and others. The President cannot urge 
too strongly upon the Trustees and Members of the Museum 
the desirability of the gift of this building as a splendid monu- 
ment to public education and a lasting memorial of the present 
period of museum development inthe world. A special folder 
was issued July 1, 1915, describing the plans of this building. 


A plan of very great importance for the future scientific 

and artistic development of the City of New York was sug- 

gested to the President some years ago by a 

Approaches from member of our Board, whose name is with- 
the Eastern Side A gota 

of the City held. It is the utilization of the great space 

in Central Park to be left vacant by the 

removal of the south Croton reservoir. This plan has been 

studied in an informal manner and in a preliminary way with 

the approval and codperation of the present Commissioner of

Report of the President 19 


Parks, the Honorable Cabot Ward. The idea is not to bring 
forward at the present time a formal project, but to show 
how it is possible to provide for the people the greatly desired 
western and eastern accesses to the Metropolitan and American 
Museums; secondly, to show how the City has an oppor- 
tunity of providing, in spaces at present wholly inaccessible 
to the public and unutilized fer park purposes, a central court 
or plaza whereon it may be possible to develop certain artistic, 
musical and recreational influences in the open air, for which 
there is no space at present provided in our entire Park 
System. We have playgrounds, baseball and tennis fields, 
polo and golf fields a plenty, but no space for musical, artistic, 
historical or other educational celebrations and fétes such as 
should be provided for within our Parks; nor is there any 
adequate plaza for public music. The sketch plan published 
with this number of the Museum Report is an indication of 
what may be done. This or some similar plan, which should 
. be prepared under the direction of the Department of Parks 
and the Municipal Art Commission, will provide for the free 
circulation of people to our two great Museums and it will 
provide, not in Park land but directly over the transverse sub- 
way extending east and west at Eighty-sixth Street, for an 
art and educational exhibition building, which will also serve 
on the south facade as a platform for open-air concerts and 
fétes. The broad level space, now occupied by the reservoir, 
may either be developed as a garden with fountains, or asa 
sunken area with encircling stone seats,—an amphitheatre 
with proportions adequate for such historical presentations as 
that planned for the Shakespeare Tercentenary. 


EXPLORATION AND RESEARCH 


Through gifts from the Trustees and friends of the 
Museum, amounting all together to $62,964.20, and through 
the interest of $117,473.44 received from the Morris K. 
Jesup Endowment Fund, the Museum has been able to 
accomplish more than in any previous year toward bringing 
the results of exploration and discovery in all parts of the 
world to the schools and to the non-traveling public of this 


20 Report of the President 


great city. The influence and inspiration of this scientific 
work are spread through the daily press, which everywhere 
is disposed to treat the work of the Museum more carefully 
and seriously, also through lectures and circulating collec- 
tions to more than a million school children, and through the 
displays in the exhibition halls, which during the past year 
attracted nearly one million visitors. 

The activities of our field parties, under the leadership of 
members of our able and courageous exploring staff, extended 
to three of the great continents. In all there were twenty- 
one field parties at work: one in Africa, two in South 
America and eighteen in North America. 


AFRICA 


First in importance is the Congo Expedition which under 
the leadership of Messrs. Lang and Chapin has been brought 
to a successful conclusion. This expedition has 
been operating for more than six years in the 
Belgian Congo, and has secured important and 
valuable collections of mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes and 
invertebrates, as well as anthropological material. The 
entire collection comprises more than 20,000 vertebrates and 
more than 65,000 invertebrates. The descriptive catalogue 
exceeds 3,500 pages, and other scientific data include 7,000 
photographs which have been provided by Mr. Lang person- 
ally. While the expedition enjoyed the hearty support of the 
Belgian government and of all the Belgian officials, its remark- 
able success is due in large measure to the very efficient man- 
agement and painstaking work of Mr. Lang and Mr. Chapin. 


Congo 
Expedition 


SOUTH AMERICA 


The ornithological survey of the Andean region of South 
America, in which the Museum has been intensively engaged 
during the past three years, has been continued 


Roosevelt through the contributions of Colonel Theodore 
South American land H. Dod 
Expeditions Roosevelt and Mr. Clevelan . Dodge. 


Working under this grant, Mr. Leo E. Miller 
and Mr. Howarth S. Boyle have made important collections 
in Colombia and Bolivia, which have added nearly 2,000 


Report of the President 21 


specimens of birds and mammals to the Museum’s collections, 
and they have also secured important scientific data. The 
second Roosevelt expedition will be sent out during the cur- 
rent year, under the direction of Mr. George K. Cherrie. 
Mr. Cherrie will collect in the marshes of the Paraguay. 


The expedition to South America, organized and financed 
by Mr. Alfred M. Collins and Mr. Lee Garnett Day, crossed 
South America through Bolivia and came 


ees, down the Amazon. They were accompanied 
Peedicn by Mr. George K. Cherrie as the Museum’s 


representative, and Messrs. Collins and Day 
have presented to the Museum the results of their work, 
which comprise about 550 birds and 1oo mammals. 


NORTH AMERICA 


The ancient history of the vertebrate life of North 
America is being followed along the lines of the plan pro- 
jected by Curator Osborn in 1891, of securing 
for the Museum a complete representation of 
the life of the Age of Amphibians, of the Age of 
Reptiles, of the Age of Mammals and finally of the Age of Man. 
A separate exhibition hall ultimately will be devoted to each 
of these periods, carrying the visitor back step by step 
through the long and extraordinary stages of past American 
history. One period after another is being successively 
explored until it gives up all its representative forms. In 
1891 began our explorations of the Eocene, or first period of 
the Age of Mammals, which have been continued from year 
to year without interruption, so that the Museum now pos- 
sesses by far the most complete Eocene history of North 
America in existence. Later chapters in the Age of Mammals 
and earlier chapters in the Age of Reptiles have been success- 
fully explored, especially since 1909, during which time 
Mr. Barnum Brown has been engaged in the exploration of the 
remarkable dinosaur life of the Upper Cretaceous or closing 
period of the Age of Reptiles in northern Montana and along

the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada, where complete 
skeletons of each type of these dinosaurs have been found, 
Paleoscincus, the very latest representative, which long eluded 
our explorer, having been discovered last summer. 


Following the very important work of Professor Putnam 
and Professor Boas in the development of the anthropological 
foal sea department, the present Curator, Dr. 
Wiss antiGenth Manerica Clark Wissler, projected a series of 

systematic explorations beginning in 
the year 1905, when he was called to the head of the depart- 
ment. The staff has grown from three in number to its 
present strength. Curator Wissler leads in the general direc- 
tion of the work; Curator Goddard in North American 
ethnology; Associate Curator Lowie in American, African 
and Asiatic ethnology; Assistant Curator Herbert J. Spinden 
in the archeology of Mexico and Central America; 
Mr. Nels C. Nelson in the Indian archeology of North 
America; Mr. Charles W. Mead in Peruvian archeology, 
and Mr. Alanson Skinner in the archeology and ethnology 
especially of the eastern regions of the United States. 
These men were chosen particularly for their respective 
abilities in certain fields to contribute to a coédrdinated 
plan of North and South American research. During the past 
ten years the Museum has added 75,000 specimens, including 
North and South American, Philippine and African collections. 
The field research has been devoted to an intensive study ot 
the customs and traditions of the Indians of the Plains. 
Twenty-three separate tribes have been studied in the field, 
especially by Messrs. Goddard and Lowie. The material 
culture, the sun dance and the ritualistic ceremonies have 
been carefully investigated and photographs as well as moving 
pictures obtained. 

In 1909 Mr. Archer M. Huntington began his support of 
the extension of the work in the Southwest, in the region 
immediately contiguous to that of the Great Plains, where 
was commenced a survey of the tribes of the Rio Grande and 
of their past history, and a study of the Apache, the Hopi 
and Zuii, the results of which are shown in the remarkable 


Report of the President 23 


collections and the Indian habitat groups in the Hall of the 
Indians of the Southwest. The researches of Doctor Spinden 
on the pueblos of the Rio Grande, of Mr. Nelson on the ruins 
of Galisteo, and of Doctor Goddard on the Apache are 
establishing very exact standards of the history of this region. 
Professor A. L. Kroeber of the University of California has 
been making a special study of the clan and family relations 
among the Zufi. 


In the Plains we have Rev. G. L. Wilson’s volume on 
the Mandan-Hidatsa; Doctor Lowie’s on the Shoshone, and 
Mr. James R. Murie’s on the Pawnee. 


One of the most important problems is the date of man’s 
arrival in North America. This is being especially investi- 
gated by Dr. Chester A. Reeds and Mr. Leslie Spier in the 
glacial deposits of the Delaware valley, made famous 
through the prior explorations of Messrs. Putnam, Abbott 
and Volk. 


The significant feature of all this anthropological research 
is that it brings together for the Museum a synthesis 
of the entire history of Indian life in North America, 
which, enriched by the Jesup North Pacific researches, still 
continued under the direction of Professor Boas, will finally 
afford material for a great historic treatment of the Indians 
of North America as a whole. 


Of the Anthropological Papers reporting these results, 
seventeen volumes are now published or under way. 


The biological survey of Porto Rico, undertaken in codpe- 
ration with the New York Academy of Sciences and the 
Biolosi Insular Government, has been carried on 
iological Survey : 
Be Barta Rico actively by several members of the Museum’s 
staff, namely, Dr. H. E. Crampton, Dr. F. E. 
Lutz, Mr. R. W. Miner, Mr. A. J. Mutchler, Dr. Chester A. 
Reeds and Professor A. L. Treadwell. Under the present 
arrangements, the specimens secured are presented to the 
Museum. The scientific results are to be published by the 
New York Academy of Sciences. 


24 Report of the President 


Through the courtesy of Mr. B. Preston Clark of Boston, 
who financed the expedition, Mr. F. E. Watson of the Depart- 
ment of Invertebrate Zodlogy was sent to Santo 
Domingo to collect insects, especially sphingid 
moths. Mr. Watson was accompanied by Mr. 
Clarence R. Halter, who made a collection of reptiles of 
Santo Domingo, numbering 444 specimens. The work of 
this expedition was greatly facilitated by the generous codépe- 
ration of the officers of the Ferro-carril de Samana y Santiago. 


Expedition to 
Santo Domingo 


Messrs. Anthony and Ball, of the Museum’s staff, spent 
three months in eastern Panama, collecting 
mammals and birds from the little-known 
region of Tacarcuna. 


Expedition to 
Eastern Panama 


Through the Angelo Heilprin Exploring Fund, donated by 
Mr. and Mrs. Paul J. Sachs, the Museum was enabled to 
Gealocical Peeanen send Dr. E. O. Hovey to the West 
ce WW bed Tarlics Indies to continue his studies of the vol- 

canoes of that region. He spent three 
months on the islands, returning to New York on May 4, 
1915. Doctor Hovey’s report has not been completed, owing 
to the fact that he has not yet returned from the Crocker 
Land Relief Expedition, of which he was placed in charge. 


ARCTIC 


The return of the Crocker Land Expedition, which was 
organized by the American Museum of Natural History, the 
American Geographical Society and the Univer- 
sity of Illinois, has been delayed for another 
year, because the relief ship sent for the party 
has been caught in the ice on the Greenland coast and will be 
obliged to winter there. The relief expedition is in charge 
of Dr. E. O. Hovey and it is now certain that neither the 
main expedition nor the relief expedition can come out until 
the summer of 1916.

SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS 


During the past year the sum of $19,000 has been spent in 
publication, technical and popular, It is proposed to increase 


Report of the President 25 


our publication through the new resources of the Jesup Endow- 
ment. The immediate return from our publications is through 
exchange with upwards of 400 institutions in this country and 
abroad, resulting in the continuous enrichment of the Museum 
library and the constant addition to it of the latest researches 
cognate to our own in all parts of the world. The second 
return from publication, while less immediately evident, is 
still more important. The results of the work of members of 
our scientific staff are shown in numerous illustrations and 
figures. Photographic plates brought back from the field are 
copied or reproduced not only in all our American newspapers 
and magazines, but in scientific text-books in all languages. 
Thus in South America, England, France, Germany, Austria, 
Russia and Japan, one may find the text-books of recent 
years, especially on the subjects of zodlogy and vertebrate 
paleontology, drawing on illustrations from American 
Museum sources. British and French periodicals frequently 
reproduce our work. The modern Handwérterbuch der Natur- 
wissenschaften, the latest encyclopedia of natural science, 
derives nearly half its illustrations in paleontology from 
American Museum sources. Our technical scientific illustra- 
tions also are freely distributed to makers of school, college 
and university text-books, as well as to serious scientific organ- 
izations such as the United States Geological Survey. The 
four handbooks of the geology of western North America, pub- 
lished by the Survey in connection with the Panama-Pacific 
Exposition, have spread our illustrations to thousands of trav- 
elers all over our western highways. Thus we are not only 
concerned with the discovery of truth but of its dissemination 
as widely as possible. Of the 32,000 negatives in our Depart- 
ment of Public Education, the right of reproduction is extended 
to all authors, with the proviso that due credit shall be given 
to the American Museum therefor. 


UNPUBLISHED RESULTS OF EXPLORATION 


The long and very disappointing delay in publishing the 
results of the exploration organized in 1go01, under the East 
Asiatic Committee, by President Jesup and Mr. Jacob H. 


26 Report of the President 


Schiff, is an example of the difficulties that beset the publi- 
cation of certain of our most important and interesting enter- 
prises. Mr. Schiff donated the sum of $18,000 to the making 
of collections and investigations in China, which was supple- 
mented by contributions to the extent of $6,850 by Messrs. 
Edward D. Adams, Cornelius N. Bliss, Henry C. Frick, 
Edward H. Harriman, George A. Hearn, Morris K. Jesup, 
Clarence H. Mackay, J. Henry Smith and Samuel Thorne. 
The work was entrusted to Dr. Berthold Laufer, who went to 
China in September of 1901 and remained there nearly three 
years, returning in October, 1904, and bringing back superb 
collections of antique pottery and bronzes, also new and 
precious information regarding ancient Chinese and Mongolian 
inscriptions, ancient paintings, popular amusements, modern 
industries, and ancient and modern art. It was decided to 
prepare for immediate publication the ‘‘ Shadow and Puppet 
Plays,” the ‘‘Iconography of Confucianism,’’ ‘‘ Household 
Pottery,” and the precious ‘‘ Metal Mirrors” of ancient bronze. 
Of this splendid program, the completion of which would have 
been so gratifying to the benefactors of this expedition, only 
a fraction has been carried out, namely, the memoir of Doctor 
Laufer on the pottery of the Han Period.* The ancient metal 
mirrors, the collection of ancient bronze vessels and the ancient 
bas-reliefs of the Han Period all remain unpublished. Unfor- 
tunately for the American Museum, Doctor Laufer was called 
to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago in 1907 
and has now been made Curator of Anthropology, so that 
the carrying out of any portion of the original publication 
plan, which represented the results of the expenditure of 
$24,850, is made very difficult. At the same time it may be 
mentioned that the Director and certain of the Trustees of 
the Metropolitan Museum of Art have made overtures to the 
American Museum for the transfer of portions of our Chinese 
collections to the Art Museum. In this connection acknowl- 
edgment should be made to the Metropolitan Museum of Art 
for collections representing the archeology of Mexico and 
Peru, which form welcome additions to our Mexican and 
Peruvian Halls. 


* ** Chinese Pottery of the Han Dynasty.’’ Published at Leiden, 1909. 


Report of the President 27 


Non-publication, partly because of lack of funds, has 
also been the fate of many other expeditions, so that one 
of the most pressing obligations which now rest upon the 
Trustees and members of our Scientific Staff is the pushing 
forward of reports on explorations which have cost the 
Museum a great deal of money and for which we should 
secure not only the results which appear in our exhibition 
halls, but the scientific results which, through publication, shall 
reach and influence a wider public. A few instances may be 
mentioned. The explorations in Peru of Dr. A. F. Bandelier, 
in 1892 and 1896, supported by Mr. Henry Villard, have not 
yet been published, and the unfortunate death of Doctor 
Bandelier renders the publication of the results of his investi- 
gations very unlikely. The results of the explorations of 
Professor Marshall H. Saville in Mexico in 1897-1898, and of 
Mra BT. Bo Hyde and DrF. EH. Hyde, at Pueblo Bonito, 
New Mexico, 1897-1898, have never been published. The 
Report of the ‘‘Albatross”’ Expedition, under Dr. Charles H. 
Townsend, to Lower California in the year rg11, supported by 
Mr. Arthur Curtiss James, is still incomplete. The various 
journeys of Mr. Roy C. Andrews in Alaska, Japan and Korea, 
after Cetacea, are either partially reported or in press. The 
observations of Mr. Carl E. Akeley, when on atripto Africa for 
elephants and other mammals during the year 1911, still await 
scientific publication. To forestall a similar delay regarding 
our Congo exploration, it is proposed to begin immediately 
the publication of the results obtained and of the observations 
made by Messrs. Lang and Chapin during the years 1909 to 
1915 in the Belgian Congo region; first, in the form of a 
popular volume on the natural history of the Congo; second, 
a succession of bulletins on the scientific results of the expedi- 
tion, to be divided among various specialists; third, a series 
of memoirs on the mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, 
etc., of this vast and little-known region. 


28 Report of the President 


ENDOWMENT AND BEQUESTS 


The Executor of the estate of Mrs. Morris K. Jesup has 
made a first payment of $2,750,000 on account of the Morris 
K. Jesup Fund of $5,000,000. The interest on 
this sum added $66,485.50 to the income of the 
Museum in 1915. Another instalment of the 
bequest will be paid as soon as the executor can profitably 
dispose of certain properties or securities of the estate. 

The total income of the Morris K. Jesup Fund for the year 
1915 was $117,473.44, a sum which has made possible the con- 
tinuation of important researches and explorations, the acqui- 
sition of valuable collections and the immediate publication of 
scientific papers deferred through lack of funds. The appli- 
cation of the Jesup Fund is restricted to the scientific work 
of the institution, and in assigning it the Trustees have been 
guided by the well-known wishes of Mr. Jesup. The follow- 
ing are some of the principal purposes to which the Jesup 
Fund was applied in 1915: 

The enrichment of the collections in practically all 
departments of the Museum, including: 


Morris K. 
Jesup Fund 


Groups of Bear, Mountain Sheep and other North American 
Mammals 

Additions to the Collection of Minerals and Gems 

Ethnological Collections from the South Sea Islands 

Ethnological Collections from the Pawnee Indians

Next to the gift of $300,000 to the Endowment Fund 
by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan in 1904, and to the large gifts and 
bequests of Mr. and Mrs. Morris K. Jesup, the 
most important addition ever made to the Gen- 
eral Endowment of the Museum is the bequest 
of Mr. Amos F. Eno of $250,000. Mr. Eno, who died on 
October 21, 1915, had been a Life Member of the Museum 
for ten years, and an Annual Member previous to this. His 
generous bequest is significant, first because it is made ata 
time when there is a general impression that because of the 
munificent Jesup Bequest of $5,000,000 the Museum is not 
in need of further endowment, and second because it is a con- 
tribution to the General Endowment, the income of which 
is unrestricted. The Jesup Fund provides liberally for the 
scientific growth, but the internal development of the Museum 
is dependent largely on the General Endowment, which is 
still altogether too small for current needs. 

The following is a list of the bequests and gifts that have 
been made to the General Endowment since the foundation 
of the fund in 1884:

specimens from the Dominican Republic, presented by Mr. 
B. Preston Clark; set of 9 volumes of Lord Kingsborough’s 
work, ‘‘Antiquities of Mexico,” presented by Mr. Ogden 
Mills; Lacroix collection of geological specimens, presented 
by Mr. J. P. Morgan; ethnological specimens and photographs 
from the Pacific Islands, presented by Mrs. William Churchill. 


Again we are indebted to Mr. C. C. Burnham, Vice-Presi- 
dent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Com- 
pany; to Mr. W. P. Kenney, Vice-President of 
the Great Northern Railway Company, and 
to Mr. F. D. Underwood, President of the Erie Railroad Com- 
pany, for transportation of the valuable collections of fossils 
from Alberta. The Museum also desires to make acknowledg- 
ment to Mr. T. H. Rossbottom of the Panama Rail Road Com- 
pany, who has on several occasions granted reduced rates of 
transportation in connection with our explorations in South 
America, and to the Ferro-carril de Samana y Santiago for 
free transportation and other assistance given to our repre- 
sentatives on our expedition to Santo Domingo.

PUBLIC EDUCATION 


Each year the Museum increasingly develops its public 
educational work, always with the object of extending the 
results of its explorations and researches as widely as possible. 


The importance of establishing local lecture centers for 
the benefit of pupils who cannot afford car fare to visit the 
Museum was so evident that, although the City 
did not provide the necessary funds for the 
opening of the ten centers suggested in the propo- 
sition submitted to the Board of Education by the President 
in 1914, the Trustees authorized the Curator of Pubiic Educa- 
tion to open certain of these centers without additional expense 
to the City. Courses of lectures have been given in the 
Washington Irving High School, in Public School No. 64, Man- 
hattan (on the lower East Side), and at two schools in the 
Bronx. During the year these lectures were attended by more 
than 32,800 pupils, the majority of whom could not afford the 
car fare necessary to transport them to the Museum. The 


Local Lecture 
Centers 


32 Report of the President 


interest aroused in these four lecture centers and the large 
attendance have been a practical demonstration of the effec- 
tiveness of this method of codperation. The results clearly 
point out the desirability of extending this feature of 
Museum instruction to the ten local centers originally pro- 
posed, which are situated in areas where the population is 
most dense. 

A second innovation this year has been the placing of the 
Museum’s extensive series of lantern slides at the disposition 
of teachers in the public schools for use in the class rooms. 
This arrangement has been made possible through a special 
appropriation of $2,000 by the Board of. Education, to meet 
the expenses connected with their distribution. This places 
the very best illustrative material for geography and history 
classes in the hands of teachers. 

The third feature of Museum Extension during the past 
year has been the additional codperation with the branch 
libraries of the New York Public Library. Several special 
collections have been prepared for circulation among these 
branch libraries, designed to stimulate the reading of good 
books on travel. This, of course, will be extended during 
the year 1916. 


PUBLIC HEALTH 


Closely connected with Public Education is the matter of 
Public Health, which is rapidly extending among the schools 
a knowledge of both the cause and the prevention of disease. 

Our Department of Public Health, which has been develop- 
ing gradually under the able direction of Curator Winslow, is 
codperating with the Museum’s Department of Public Educa- 
tion and the City Department of Health, through its exhibition 
halls, its literature, its public lectures, and the public health 
charts, which have been prepared for circulation in the 
schools, while at the same time, through its Museum of Living 
Bacteria, it is rendering a national service by its distribution 
of type bacteria. At present the department has 695 types 
under cultivation, of which more than 3,000 cultures have 
been sent out gratuitously to the laboratories of universities 
and health departments in more than 4oo different institutions 


Report of the President 33 


in the United States and abroad. Inasmuch as our Depart- 
ment of Public Health is the youngest of our departments, 
the attention of the Trustees and Members is directed 
especially to Curator Winslow’s report on page 82. 


MEMBERSHIP AND STAFF 


During the year the Museum has suffered the loss of three 
of its early scientific advisers: Daniel Giraud Elliot, Charles 
F. Holder and Frederic Ward Putnam. 

Doctor Elliot’s death occurred in New York City on 
December 22. Doctor Elliot shares with the late Professor 
Albert S. Bickmore the honor of being one of the two scien- 
tific founders of The American Museum of Natural History. 
The original collection of birds belonging to Doctor Elliot 
was the nucleus of the Museum’s later riches (it was the first 
material of any kind that the Museum obtained), and his pur- 
chases and gifts laid the foundation of the great department 
of mammals and birds. At the time of the foundation of the 
Museum, he was the best-equipped and practically the only 
man in New York City to give advice in scientific matters 
relating to the institution. Professor Bickmore conceived the 
idea of the Museum; he gave his effort to create interest in 
the plans and to raise funds to carry them out, but he came 
to Doctor Elliot for advice involving scientific knowledge. 
In 1869 Doctor Elliot went abroad for study but also with 
a commission from the Trustees to purchase material for the 
Museum, and he obtained some notable collections. Some 
years after his return he presented his collection of humming 
birds, obtained during his stay in Europe, and at about 
the same time the Museum gained his library of ornithology. 
Doctor Elliot traveled in connection with his work more 
than most naturalists. In 1894 he went to the Field 
Museum of Natural History (Chicago) as head of the Depart- 
ment of Zodlogy. In 1906 he began the preparation of his 
recently published ‘‘ Review of the Primates.”’ In connection 
with the researches for this publication, he made a world-tour 
in 1907-1909. After reaching the United States he came to the 
American Museum to devote himself to the research in hand. 
He later went again to Europe for further study in this con- 


34 Report of the President 


nection. Besides this Review, Doctor Elliot was the author 
of many other volumes and papers. On the occasion of his 
eightieth birthday, on March 7, 1915, a formal word of greet- 
ing and appreciation was extended by the Trustees and mem- 
bers of the staff of the American Museum. In recognition of 
his services he was elected a Trustee of the Museum at a 
meeting of the Board held November 8, 1915, in the Class of 
1917. 

The death of Dr. Charles F. Holder occurred in Pasadena, 
California, on October 11, and this country has thus lost one 
of its older marine naturalists. In 1871 he was appointed 
Assistant Curator in the American Museum, to assist his 
father, who had been associated with the Museum since its 
inception. Doctor Holder resigned his position in the 
Museum in 1875 and soon afterward accepted the chair of 
zodlogy at Throop College, Pasadena. At the time of his 
death- he was Honorary Curator of its museum. Doctor 
Holder was the author of many books and a member of many 
distinguished scientific societies. 

Professor Frederic Ward Putnam, the founder of anthropo- 
logical research in the American Museum, died in Cambridge, 
Massachusetts, on August 14, 1915. Professor Putnam was 
a genius in Museum development and is by far the most con- 
spicuous figure in the history of American museums. Anthro- 
pology as we use the term had scarcely come into existence 
when he took it up. He was the father of municipal anthro- 
pological research institutions in America. The Peabody 
Museum in Cambridge as it stands to-day is due to his leader- 
ship; his coming to the American Museum in the year 1894 
resulted in the development of anthropology as a department 
of research and the beginning of a policy of extensive system- 
atic field investigation. It was Professor Putnam who 
encouraged the late Marshall Field to establish in Chicago the 
great museum which now bears his name, and it was Professor 
Putnam who guided its department of anthropology through 
its formative period. Later he organized a department of 
anthropology and a museum at the University of California, 
where he was director for several years. When Professor 
Putnam was invited to the American Museum by President 


Report of the President 35 


Morris K. Jesup, there had been no important anthropological 
expeditions, and no scientific publications on this subject. 
Professor Putnam really began what the State of Ohio is now 
carrying out: a systematic archeological exploration of the 
entire state. Notwithstanding the disappointments in the 
pursuit of the problem, Professor Putnam was firm in the 
belief that we shall ultimately find satisfactory proof of man’s 
presence in America during the last period of glaciation. 
During his long and interesting career he held positions in 
many important corporations and institutions. 


STAFF PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS 


On February 1, Mr. H. E. Anthony was appointed an 
Assistant in the Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology. 

On April 23, Mr. Herbert Lang was appointed Assistant 
in Mammalogy for 1915. 

On April 23, Mr. James P. Chapin was appointed Assistant 
in Ornithology for 1915. 

Research in the Museum was greatly strengthened by the 
establishment of the new position of Research Associate: 

On October 20, Dr. Charles R. Eastman was appointed 
Research Associate in Paleontology. 

On October 20, Mr. M. D. C. Crawford was appointed 
Research Associate in Textiles. 

On November 8, Dr. George Bird Grinnell was appointed 
Research Associate in Ethnology. 


PUBLIC ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN 
MUSEUM STAFF 


At the ceremonies in connection with the adoption of the 
City Flag and the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of 
the installation of the first Mayor and Board of Aldermen 
of the City of New York, held at the City Hall on June 24, 
the Museum was represented by Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge, 
Dr. Frederic A. Lucas and Dr. Bashford Dean. 

Dr. Robert H. Lowie and four members of the Museum 
resident in California (Dr. Jaime de Angulo and Messrs. W. B. 


36 Report of the President 


Bourn, William H. Crocker and William Kennon Jewett) were 
appointed by the Museum, and the appointment was officially 
confirmed by Mr. Marcus M. Marks, President of the Borough 
of Manhattan, to act as delegates on Manhattan Day, at the 
Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, August 9, and at 
the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, August 19. 

At the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress held in 
Washington, D. C., in December, the American Museum was 
represented by Dr. Frank M. Chapman and Dr. Herbert J. 
Spinden. 

Miss Mary Cynthia Dickerson attended the celebration, in 
October, of the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of Vassar 
College, as the delegate of the Museum. 

Dr. Clark Wissler and Dr. Robert H. Lowie were delegates 
from the Museum and from the New York Academy of Sciences 
to the Nineteenth International Congress of Americanists, 
which met in Washington at the end of December. 

At the recent session of the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science, Dr. Pliny E. Goddard was reélected 
President of the American Folk-Lore Society and was elected 
editor of the American Anthropologist, the foremost anthropo- 
logical publication in America ; Dr. Robert H. Lowie, who per- 
formed the duties of Acting Secretary in the absence of Pro- 
fessor George Grant MacCurdy, was reélected associate editor 
of the American Anthropologist, and Mr. Alanson Skinner was 
elected assistant secretary of the American Folk-Lore Society. 

Mr. John T. Nichols was the representative of the Museum 
at the meetings of the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science, held in Columbus, Ohio, in the latter part of 
December. 

Professor C.-E. A. Winslow has taken up his new work as 
Anna M. R. Lauder Professor of Public Health at the Yale 
Medical School, New Haven, but will continue as Curator of 
Public Health at the Museum. Professor Winslow has con- 
tinued as Chairman of the New York State Commission on 
Ventilation. He has also served as Chairman of the Laboratory 
Section of the American Public Health Association and the 
Secretary of Section K of the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science. 


Report of the President 37 


WELFARE OF EMPLOYEES 


In addition to the comprehensive Pension Plan which has 
now been in successful operation for three years, the 
Employees’ Benefit Association, an independent organization 
of the employees themselves, and the Employees’ Codperative 
Store, all tending to promote the general welfare of our 
employees, the Trustees have secured for employees of the 
Museum still further protection by taking out an insurance 
which will give to them the benefits of the Workmen’s Com- 
pensation Act, in the event of accident. This is indicative of 
the generous attitude of the Trustees toward their employees, 
since the Museum, as an educational institution, does not 
come under the provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation 
Act. The form of insurance approved by the Trustees 
voluntarily gives to the employees all the benefits that would 
accrue to them if the institution came within the provisions of 
this Act. 


HOSPITALITY TO SOCIETIES 


As for many years past, the Museum has extended hospi- 
tality to educational and scientific societies for lectures and 
meetings. The regular meetings of the New York Academy 
of Sciences and Affiliated Societies were held here, also the 
annual meeting of the National Association of Audubon Soci- 
eties for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals, and the 
one hundred and third meeting of the National Academy of 
Sciences; also the annual meeting of the American Scenic and 
Historic Preservation Society. 


The Museum was especially honored by the meeting of the 
National Academy of Sciences during the week beginning 
November 15. Many important scientific papers were pre- 
sented, An evening reception to all the scientific societies of 
the city was held at this time, in honor of the Academy. 


Exhibits were held at the Museum by the Aquarium 
Society, and by the American Dahlia Society (first annual 
meeting) and the Horticultural Society of New York.

I. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION 
FREDERIC A. Lucas, Director 


Again the year has been marked by steady progress in all 
departments, rather than distinguished by a few notable 
advances; but it is pleasant to record that in 
spite of continued demands for space, due to 
growth of the collections, the condition of the 
various exhibition halls has steadily improved. The most 
noticeable improvement is in the Quaternary Hall, fourth 
floor, where the rich collection of fossil elephantids is dis- 
played, which is in better shape than for the past ten years. 

There is, as was noted last year, a continued increase in 
the use of the collections by pupils and students, due to the 


General 
Considerations 


Report of the President 39 


steady improvement of the exhibits in installation and label- 
ing. The best use of the Museum is that which calls for the 
least outlay of time on the part of members of the staff, and 
this is possible only when through their arrangement and 
labeling the collections speak for themselves and call for no 
explanation other than can be given by the instructors in 
charge of the classes. The objects on exhibition are much 
used by students of drawing and applied art, and the exhibits 
made by the classes in applied art, Teachers’ College, at the 
Panama-Pacific Exposition, consisted entirely of designs based 
on a study of aboriginal art as shown in the Museum. 


The use of the Visitors’ Room has increased as its oppor- 
tunities have become known, and during the past year it was 
used by 19,713 visitors. 


The Synoptic Series of Mammals is beginning to emerge 
from the clouds of disorder and incompleteness that have so 
long hung over it and is beginning to assume tangible shape. 
As noted on the general label, the somewhat ambitious pur- 
pose of this exhibit is to show the characters of mammals, 
their principal groups and the relations of these with one 
another, as well as to illustrate various peculiarities of habits 
or structure. It has been interesting to note the changing 
attitude of visitors towards this hall as its condition has 
changed and improved: from being little visited, it has become 
very popular, showing that a collection intended primarily for 
students may be made interesting to the general public. 


‘‘Hard times” still affects the sale of leaflets, though 
there is a steady demand for the Guide, 3,370 copies of that 
Peoulas publication having been sold during the year. 
Publications Other items are 2,001 Guide Leaflets, 763 Hand- 

books and 619 reprints of articles in the American 
Museum Journal. Post-cards still retain their popularity, and 
526 sets of fifteen, and 11,688 sets of three were sold, a total 
of 42,954 cards. One new Handbook, *' Dinosaurs,” was issued 
during the year and three new Guide Leaflets besides new 
editions of ‘‘Animals of the Past’? and ‘‘Our Common 
Butterflies.” 


40 Report of the President 


Many minor changes and improvements have been made in 
cases and equipment that add much to the appearance of the 
Building halls and facilitate the use of the material, par- 
Operations ticularly by the many classes that visit or meet at 

the Museum. The frequent demand for tables has 
been met by the construction of a number of folding tables 
that serve for the display of material. 

Besides fixed cases for the Hopi, Fur Seal and Crane 
Groups, 18 metal-frame cases have been constructed, 1,700 of 
the standard storage trays that are ever in demand and roo 
insect trays. 

A most important piece of work, now well advanced, is the 
construction of metal storage racks, equipped with heavy 
trays, for fossil vertebrates. This not only adds greatly to 
the capacity of the storeroom and the accessibility of the 
specimens, but does away with the tiers of clumsy and inflam- 
mable wooden tables with which the room was filled. 

Another important item for the equipment of a modern 
museum is a fireproof storage closet for moving picture films, 
such as has just been built, which contains not even an electric 
light wire, the illumination being wholly from without. 


Work on the various exhibits has progressed steadily and 
satisfactorily, there having been general improvements in 
installing and labeling collections as noted in 
the Departmental Reports. The reception of 
the fine Keith collection necessitated a complete rearrange- 
ment of the Mexican Hall, and, in order to make room for it 
without retiring other objects, many of the Maya casts have 
been placed in the South Corridor, second floor, which has 
been made over for their reception and is about to be repainted. 

The most noteworthy addition to the exhibits is the Hopi 
Indian Group, portraying a part of the village of Walpi. 
This, while on the general lines of the habitat groups, 
embodies many novel features of construction and lighting; 
it was planned by Mr. Howard McCormick and executed by 
him and Mr. Mahonri M. Young with some assistance from 
the regular Museum preparators. A companion piece in the 
way of an Apache Group by the same artists is now well

advanced. The Director has for many years desired to see 
such groups introduced in museums and is pleased to have 
lived long enough to see this accomplished. 

The Group of Whooping Cranes, a bird apparently doomed 
to destruction, has been added to the Habitat Series, leaving 
but one space to be filled, that intended for arctic birds. 

The King Penguins, on the second floor, mark, it is hoped, 
the beginning of the rearrangement of this hall, which, as 
noted on the label, ‘‘temporarily installed,” is planned to 
include a series of groups of Birds of the World. 

Through the interest and energy of that Nimrod of the 
Sea, Mr. Russell J. Coles, the Museum has received the mold 
and skeleton of the rare dolphin Prodelphinus plagiodon, and, 
what is even more important, a mold of the Giant Ray, or 
Devilfish, Manta birostris, a specimen for which the Director 
has longed for twenty-five years past. 

Due to the usual—or unusual—delays to which museums 
seem subject, the work of preparing this has only recently 
been started. 

The Group of Mountain Sheep, begun in the autumn, will 
be completed as soon as glass is received to close up the case, 
and a Group of the Little Brown Bat, including one hundred 
individuals, will be put on exhibition early in 1916. Mr. 
Andrews has secured material for a Group of Virginia Deer, 
and Mr. Anthony for Jack Rabbits and Mountain ‘‘ Beaver,” 
all for the Hall of North American Mammals. 

Mr. John H. Prentice presented a fine example, mounted, 
of the Square-lipped or White Rhinoceros, and Mr. Walter 
Winans has added to his gifts a series illustrating various 
stages in albinism in the pheasant as well as a fine repro- 
duction of the historic Dodo, copied from paintings by Dutch 
artists. 

The reproduction of Weyer’s Cave, which will be an illustra- 
tion of the various stages and phenomena of cave formation, 
has occupied the attention of Mr. Peters and a helper for the 
greater part of the year. 

The Nahant Tide Pool Group has made good progress, 
though this is not apparent to one unacquainted with the 
problems to be met and overcome. Probably no one will 


42 Report of the President 


realize on seeing the completed group that the largest single 
item in time—and cost—has been the reproduction of the 
barnacle-covered rocks, which has called for the making and 
placing of thousands of barnacles that could be made only a 
few atatime. Such things as these are among the kinds of 
work that are included in ‘‘the submerged seven-eighths ” 
referred to elsewhere. Next to these come the rockweed that 
is to hang in masses below the barnacles and which cannot be 
reproduced quickly and accurately. 

These represent only the principal items of completed 
work, but a large amount has been done for groups and 
exhibits still in the future. 


The output of the printing office amounted to more than 
600,000 impressions, a record which speaks well for all con- 
aes cerned. The more important items are 80,000 
Printing and he see add : 
Labeling folders, for distribution to hotels and other public 
places, 55,000 plates for the /ournal, 13,000 
booklets about the lecture courses and a new edition of Our 
Common Butter flies. 

The important work of labeling has made good progress 
during the year, even better than might be inferred from the 
number of labels printed, for some of these afford as much 
information as several pages in a book and are infinitely more 
difficult to prepare. It is comparatively easy to set down 
information when the writer is not hampered by conditions of 
space, but when that same information is to be compressed 
into the circumscribed area of a label, the problem becomes 
difficult. Particular attention is called to such labels as that 
on the Calendar Stone in the Mexican Hall, to the ‘‘ Index 
Labels” at the entrances to the Indian Halls, and to the 
descriptive labels on the cases in these same halls. As a 
matter of justice it should also be said that the present labels 
on many of the casts of Mexican antiquities were not prepared 
by members of the Museum staff and are regarded as 
‘*temporary,” a word, when used in connection with museums, 
meaning anywhere from three to ten years. The labels for 
the Synoptic Series of Mammals would make a text-book of 
no inconsiderable size, and while in this particular case the 


Report of the President 43 


labels were written with a special view to their use by 
students, they are read extensively by visitors.

The repairs and repainting of the halls have been con- 
tinued as extensively as funds would permit, the greatest 
improvement having been effected in the 
East Corridor, which, together with the 
elevators and elevator shaft, has been 
repainted. Engaged columns have been placed on either side 
of the doorway opening from Memorial Hall, while a large 
Directory has been placed directly opposite the elevators. 
This Directory includes a brief statement of the chief exhibits 
on each floor, an index to the principal collections or more 
interesting exhibits, while spaces are devoted to new or special 
exhibits, programs of meetings of various scientific societies 
and announcements of events of particular importance. 

One of the largest items continues to be repairs on the 
roof. This piece of work calls for the constant services of a 
roofer and includes the removal of old and misplaced skylights 
as well as the replacing of many tiles and many square feet of 
copper. 

Aside from the repairs and improvements noted, the build- 
ing and equipment, including engines, heating and lighting 
plant and other machinery, have been kept in their customary 
good condition, and the fact that no repairs were made outside 
the building and that after eleven years’ use the engines 
developed a higher efficiency than ever, establishes a record 
that may be embarrassing. 


Care of the Building 
and Equipment 


44 Report of the President 


In the Report for r914 the importance of having the 
exhibition halls attractive in themselves was touched upon, 
and it is worth mentioning again, as various instances have 
come to notice during the year of the impression made upon 
younger visitors by the Hall of Shells, one of the few wherein 
it has been possible to have some uniformity in the color 
scheme, in spite of the red mahogany cases. 


Again there has been a gain in the normal attendance dur- 
ing the year, aside from the increase due to the Flower Show 
which attracted a large number of visitors. This 
is attributable to the steady increase in the num- 
ber of those actually using the Museum for purposes of study 
as well as to an increase, as shown by the fall attendance, in 
the number of out-of-town visitors. The Director does not 
believe that any healthy, permanent gain can be made by 
advertising or by temporary exhibitions, feeling that there is 
always a reaction after the interest of the moment has passed. 
The only sure and healthy way to increase attendance is 
through the exhibits, for if these are not attractive in their 
character, well arranged, and well labeled, they fail to arouse 
the interest of visitors and these in turn will discourage their 
friends from coming to the Museum.

Report of the President 45 


While it has not been possible for the City to provide for 
any addition to the building, yet the good will of the municipal 
government is shown by the allotment of some $15,000 
Needs 
for the purpose of necessary repairs. The request for 
the transfer of the balance of $111,808.77 (left from the 
appropriation for the construction of the foundation of the 
new East Wing, commenced in 1912, but abandoned for lack 
of funds) to equipment fund has also met with approval. It is 
therefore hoped that during the coming year it may be possible 
to add a number of the storage rooms and cases so badly 
needed for the preservation of material actually on hand. 

The frequent use of the West Assembly Hall for temporary 
exhibits, mainly of paintings and other objects of an artistic 
character, but related to the work of the Museum, shows the 
need of such a room as is included in the plan for a Southwest 
Court Building. Thus, during the year there have been 
exhibited at the Museum an introductory series of drawings 
in color of ‘‘Our Common Home Birds,” by Mr. H. C. 
Denslow; photographs of North Pacific Coast Indians, by 
Mr. Edward S. Curtis; photographic transparencies illustrating 
certain noteworthy features of the work by Professor Percival 
Lowell and his staff at the Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona; 
paintings and bronzes by Mr. William de la Montagne Cary, 
from studies of Indian life made by him in the West between 
1861 and 1874; and a series of enlargements of the remarkable 
photographs taken by the Australasian-Antarctic expedition 
under Sir Douglas Mawson. The total attendance at the five 
exhibitions referred to amounted to 73,654. 

The President has dwelt on the pressing need for the 
Southeast Wing, and the Director may well call attention to 
the great necessity for a building to be devoted to work- 
rooms, storage, laboratories and temporary exhibitions, such 
as the Flower Show, which is indeed more and more pressing. 

There are hundreds of plaster molds and many casts, 
belonging to various departments, which are now scattered 
about the Museum, many of them in almost inaccessible 
places and all in inconvenient ones, that should be properly 
cared for and placed where they are readily available. This 
is now an impossibility and matters are steadily getting worse. 


46 Report of the President 


There is no suitable place for rough or heavy work and 
absolutely no place where such work as skinning and roughly 
preparing the skeletons of animals can be done without filling 
the entire building with offensive odors. 

Even ordinary preparation work is carried on at a dis- 
advantage, while some place for work and storage must be 
provided before any extension of the West Central Wing can 
take place. But for the fact that the West Court is filled to 
the level of the first floor, the construction of such a building 
would be comparatively inexpensive, especially in comparison 
with the cost of an outer exhibition section. 

It would also probably be feasible to locate a badly needed 
receiving and shipping room in this section until such time in 
the future as this can be provided where it should be, in the 
west center adjacent to Columbus Avenue. 

The building would also furnish space for the reception, 
unpacking and preliminary work on the collections that from 
time to time are received and must now be handled where 
best they can. For example, in order to unpack and dis- 
tribute the collections made by the Congo Expedition, it was 
necessary to give up the hall occupied by the exhibits of 
recent fishes, and these have been placed in the hall occupied 
by the systematic series of birds, an affiliation that does not 
add to the happiness of the officers of either the Department 
of Birds or of Fishes. It is to be noted here that this is the 
second hall in the past five years that owing to necessity has 
been stripped of its exhibits and made into a workroom. 

Lack of an equipment fund has rendered it impossible to 
keep up with the demand for storage, and there is a pressing 
need for rooms for the ethnological collections and for scores 
of cases for the material secured by the Congo Expedition 
and that being constantly received from South America, as 
well as for metal shelving for fishes and reptiles. It is hoped 
that at least part of these may be provided for by the new 
Equipment Fund. 

The Director can only repeat what he said last year, that 
all members of the Museum force deserve the thanks of 
Trustees and public for the manner in which the varied opera- 
tions of the institution have been carried on, including not

merely that work which is apparent to every one, but the part 
which is not visible and which has aptly been compared to the 
submerged seven-eighths of an iceberg, far larger than appears 
on the surface. 

Acknowledgment should also be made of the work of the 
Registrar’s department which has not only kept record of 
the 4,343 incoming and outgoing shipments, but has also had 
charge of the preparation and dissemination of information 
regarding the Museum and its work. 


II. REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENTS 
PUBLIC EDUCATION 


DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION 


GEORGE H. SHERWOOD, Curator 


The Department of Public Education has continued to 
maintain close relations with the schools through its circulat- 
: ing collections, its docent service and its 
Museum Extension < ‘ 

Paihe Schools lectures. This year its usefulness has been 
further extended by the development of two 
new lines of codperation, namely, the loaning of lantern slides 
and the opening of local lecture centers. By means of these 
activities, the Museum has been carried to thousands of pupils 
in a manner to stimulate a lasting interest in nature and in 

this institution as a useful and valuable means of education. 


Through special financial arrangement with the New York 
City Board of Education, it has been possible to place the 
F Museum’s extensive series of lantern slides at 
Loaning of ’ : 
Lantern Slides the disposal of teachers for use in the class 
rooms. The nucleus of this collection is the 
superb series of slides prepared by the late Professor Albert 
S. Bickmore for the State Department of Public Instruction. 
The original negatives and slides were destroyed in the disas- 
trous fire in the Capitol at Albany in 1911, and the personal 


48 Report of the President 


set of Professor Bickmore, which he presented to the Mus- 
eum, is unique. These slides are especially valuable to illus- 
trate topics of geography, history, travel and natural science. 
Under the present arrangement the Board of Education bears 
the cost of distributing the slides to the teachers and the 
expenses incident to the preparation of catalogues, lecture sets 
and manuscripts for the teachers. Museum messengers deliver 
the slides, and call for them at the end of the loan periods. 
The slides are loaned separately, in groups or in lecture sets. 
The lecture sets are accompanied by full descriptions of the 
slides so that teachers may prepare the lecture with a mini- 
mum of effort. 

The use of the slides has been limited by the fact that 
many schools are not equipped with class rooms which can be 
darkened, or do not possess stereopticon lanterns. There are, 
however, 35 schools in the city which are making frequent 
and regular use of these slides. 


In 1914 the Museum offered to open ten local lecture cen- 
ters in selected schools provided the City would meet the nec- 
essary expenses connected with the delivery of 
the lectures. While the Board of Education 
heartily approved of this proposition and rec- 
ommended its acceptance, the City did not provide the neces- 
sary funds, and this comprehensive plan of extension had to 
be abandoned. The need of this kind of educational work 
was so apparent that, in spite of the failure of the City to pro- 
vide financial support, the Trustees authorized the Curator of 
Public Education to arrange for courses of lectures in three of 
the public schools, namely, the Washington Irving High School, 
Public School 64, Manhattan, and Public School 39,* Bronx, in 
all of which the lectures were considered part of the regular 
school instruction and were given by members of the Museum 
staff during school hours. During the year, 30 lectures have 
been given in the local lecture centers and the attendance 
aggregates more than 32,800 pupils. The establishing of local 
lecture centers in the schools is an important practical method

Report of the President 49. 


of Museum Extension, for it is a significant fact that the 
majority of the pupils who hear these lectures cannot afford the 
car fare necessary to visit the Museum to hear similar lectures. 


Because of the current interest in these new features of 
the Museum’s educational program, the importance and extent 
of the long-established methods of coéperation 
with the schools are apt to be overlooked. The 
circulating collections of nature study speci- 
mens have been supplied to the schools as usual; 
671 collections have been in circulation and 473 schools are 
on the distribution list. The statistics supplied by the teachers 
show that 1,238,581 children were reached by this method of 
Museum Extension. The complete statistics in comparison 
with former years are given in the following table:

The lectures for school children given at the Museum 
maintain their popularity. This in itself is convincing evi- 
dence of their practical educational value, for all 

Lectures : 
Be Seat of them are given after school hours and attend- 
Children ance of both teachers and pupils is wholly volun- 
tary. In all, 68 lectures have been given in the 
auditorium, and the records show an attendance of 50,852. 
Therefore, through its lectures, including those given in the 
local lecture centers, the Museum has reached upward of 
80,000 pupils, or nearly double the number of any previous year. 


50 Report of the President 


The general lectures given at the Museum have been even 
more varied and extensive than usual. For Members there 
have been two courses of lectures on Thursday eve- 
nings and two courses for the children of Members 
on Saturday mornings. There were the regular 
lectures under the auspices of the New York City Board of 
Education, on Tuesday and Saturday evenings; two lectures 
for the Blind; and four lectures on Aboriginal Art by mem- 
bers of the staff of the Department of Anthropology. In 
coéperation with the American Scenic and Historic Preservation 
Society, Members were given an opportunity to hear a lecture 
by Dr. Joseph Kossuth Dixon on ‘‘ Life Among the American 
Indians.” The biennial ‘‘ Jesup Lectures,” in codperation 
with Columbia University, were given this year by Dr. Charles 
P. Berkey, the general subject being ‘‘ Origin and Meaning 
of Some Fundamental Earth Structures.” 


General 
Lectures 


What might be considered as minor lines of Museum Exten- 
sion have received considerable attention. The loaning of 
_ exhibits to the New York Public Library 
a ae Extension an4 its branches was thoroughly reorgan- 
Babicsk Abies ized and special consideration given to 
circulating collections for the children’s 
reading rooms. After consultation with several of the child- 
ren’s librarians, a number of exhibits was chosen illustrating 
Eskimo Life, Indians of the Plains, Indians of the Southwest, 
Life at the Seashore, Birds, Insects and Reptiles of the Spring- 
time. They were of a somewhat general nature, but repre- 
sentative, and simply and carefully labeled, and were allowed 
to remain at each library fora month. Several departments 
of the Museum, especially the Department of Anthropology, 
coéperated in the work. 

During the autumn, the work was broadened to include 
collections that would illustrate the librarian’s weekly story 
hour. For example, a collection of Dolls from Many Lands, 
was put in circulation in the Christmas month, December. 
Care was taken to see that all this material possessed a truly 
human interest, and already results have shown that such col- 
lections serve a twofold purpose: they stimulate the reading 


Report of the President 51 


of special books placed by the librarians on the shelves near 
the exhibits, thus increasing the circulation of books, and they 
help the children to gain a real knowledge of the specimens. 
In several instances, moreover, the codperation has resulted 
in librarians’ bringing their Boys’ Clubs to study the more ex- 
tensive exhibits at the Museum. 


The entire expense of the Museum’s increasing educa- 
tional work for the blind, including the car fares provided for 
: the blind visitors and their guides when neces- 
Education for ; : 
fe Blind. sary, is met through the income of the Jonathan 
Thorne Memorial Fund. By means of its free 
aaa lectures for blind adults and its talks for the 
blind children of the public schools, the 
Museum’s education for the blind has continued throughout the 
year. During school hours ten blind classes have been regular 
visitors, nine coming from the public schools of New York 
City, and one from Newark, New Jersey. A schedule of 
lectures has been followed, and the individual attention given 
to each class is said by the teachers to have been most helpful. 
One teacher in summarizing the work of the year said that often 
an hour spent at the Museum, where the children have an oppor- 
tunity to ‘‘see” with their hands, gave more life and realism to 
a subject than could be given in two weeks of study at school. 
The attempt was made, in all possible ways, to connect the 
material used with every-day life. In the bird talks, the com- 
mon birds that the children could hear in the parks were used, 
while the flowers in the flower talks and the tree branches in 
the tree talks all came fresh from the woods and fields. 
The small classes, seldom more than fifteen and often fewer 
in number, sat in a semicircle about the teacher, and oppor- 
tunity was given to feel the lesson objects carefully. Two 
hundred and forty-seven blind children, one hundred and 
thirty-one guides, and thirty-two teachers, making a total of 
four hundred and ten blind pupils and attendants, visited the 
Museum for regular instruction. 
Loan collections to the schools supplemented the work at 
the Museum. The large relief globes of the world were studied 
by fourteen blind classes in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn 


52 Report of the President 


and Queens. Mammal cases, containing small models of a 
camel, a giraffe, a hippopotamus, the regular bird sets, and a 
special collection illustrating Chinese life were also sent out. 


In the autumn two lectures for the adult blind were given: 
on November 19, ‘‘ Bird Neighbors and Their Homes,” by Dr. 
G. Clyde Fisher, and on December 17, ‘‘ Wild Animal Friends 
of Mine,” by Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes. Despite inclement 
weather on both occasions, the total attendance was four hun- 
dred and twenty-two blind and guides. The experiment of 
giving the blind the opportunity of ‘‘seeing”’ defore the lec- 
ture the birds and mammals about which stories were to be 
told was tried and proved helpful. Almost every member of 
the audience responded to the invitation to come early and 
discover what the animals were like about which they were to 
hear. 


We are indebted to Mr. Lorillard Spencer, Jr., Scout Com- 
missioner of Manhattan, and Mr. W. B. Holcombe, Scout 
Commissioner of Brooklyn, and to the many Boy Scouts who 
rendered voluntary service as guides for our blind guests at 
the evening lectures. 


An important part of the work of the department is its 
docent service and other instruction in the Museum. Many 
times during the year classes of pupils are 
conducted through the halls and the exhibits 
explained. Guides are also furnished by 
this department for Members of the Museum, whenever 
requested. 


Instruction Within 
the Museum 


Twice a year, during Regents’ Week, several of the high 
schools of the city bring their entire biological departments to 
the Museum for definite laboratory work, especially in the 
Hall of Habitat Bird Groups, Insect Hall, Darwin Hall, Hall 
of Public Health and Forestry Hall. Also at this time one or 
two lectures are given to each school by members of the 
department. Each of the larger high schools usually comes 
on two successive days, and the number of schools availing 
themselves of this opportunity is increasing. 


Report of the President 53 


During the year our reference file of photographs has been 
increased by 2,745 prints, and 3,553 negatives have been 
added to the negative file. These numbers 
include 1,630 negatives of the Akeley African 
expeditions deposited in the Museum by Mr. 
Carl E. Akeley, but they do not include nearly 
7,000 negatives made by Mr. Herbert Lang of the American 
Museum’s Congo Expedition. The latter have not yet been 
filed. To our collection of motion picture films the following 
have been added: 700 feet of South American subjects, made 
and presented by Mr. Algot Lange; 360 feet of American Bison 
made in Yellowstone Park, presented by Mr. M. P. Skinner, and 
6,000 feet made by the Barnes-Kearton Expedition across 
central Africa, presented by Mr. James Barnes. The photo- 
graphic work of the Museum has grown until it is impossible for 
one photographer to do it, and consequently several thousand 
prints and a considerable number of lantern slides were made 
outside of the Museum by commercial photographers. The 
following work, however, was actually done by the Museum 
photographer during the year: 5,502 prints, 2,615 lantern 
slides, 1,490 negatives, 17 enlargements and 9 transparencies. 
These numbers, although large, give no adequate idea of the 
difficulties overcome or of the tremendous amount of pains- 
taking work accomplished.

Administrative duties as Assistant Secretary of the Board 
of Trustees have occupied the Curator to such an extent that 
Staff he has given only casual attention to departmental affairs. 

The real burden of directing the details of the educational 
work has rested, therefore, on the Assistant Curator, Dr. G. 
Clyde Fisher, and the progress noted is a significant tribute to 
his efficiency. The Museum Extension to the public libraries 
and the development of the education for the blind have been 
in charge of Miss Ann E. Thomas, who has also given valuable 
assistance in the various lecture courses.

PALZ ONTOLOGY 


EpMmuND Otis Hovey, Curator 


Through the generosity of Mr. J. P. Morgan, the Lacroix 
collection of rocks and minerals from the pegmatite dikes of 
the United States was donated to the Museum. 
This collection comprises 229 choice specimens. 
Among the other gifts may be mentioned samples 
of volcanic ash from Mt. Lassen, California, presented by Mr. 
W. T. Gould; rocks from the terminal moraine at Hollis and 
Jamaica, Long Island, presented by Dr. David S. Marshall, 
and Mesozoic fossils from the Cordillera of Bogota, presented 
by Dr. José M. Rosales. Choice collections of volcanic 
bombs from Idaho, fossils from the Eifel district of Germany 
and a small collection of fossilized wood from Florissant, 
Colorado, have been secured through purchase. 


Important 
Acquisitions 


Through the aid of the Angelo Heilprin Exploring Fund, 
Curator E. O. Hovey spent February, March and April in 
revisiting the active volcanoes of the 
Lesser Antilles and in observing the 
changes that had taken place in that 
region since his last visit in 1908. The size and depth of the 
crater of the Soufriére of St. Vincent were determined with a 
Y-level; many specimens were brought back to illustrate the 
changes that have taken place in the rocks during the past 
seven years, and scores of photographs were taken to add to 
the extensive collections already in the possession of the 
Museum as a result of former expeditions. 


Martinique, St. Vincent 
and Guadeloupe 


During the greater portions of June and July, Assistant 
Curator Reeds and Mr. P. B. Hill were in Porto Rico con- 
ducting paleontologic and stratigraphic studies and 
in making a large collection of rocks, fossils and 
photographs to supplement these studies. The 
collection consists of from 11,000 to 12,000 specimens, ten

per cent. being rock specimens, approximately ninety per 
cent. invertebrate fossils and about one dozen fragmentary 
specimens of vertebrate remains. One of these consists of a 
lower jaw with three teeth and two vertebre of a new species 
of primitive sirenian which Curator W. D. Matthew has iden- 
tified as ?Halitherium antillensen. sp. The department codper- 
ated with the New York Academy of Sciences and the Porto 
Rican government in conducting this survey. When the work 
of identification and description has been completed and the 
results published in the Annals of the New York Academy of 
Sciences, one set of the specimens will become the property of 
the Museum, another will go to the Porto Rican Government 
and a third set, if there should be one, will go to Columbia 
University. It has been arranged that Dr. T. Wayland 
Vaughan of the United States Geological Survey will identify 
and describe the coral specimens. 


In May, 1915, letters were received via Denmark from the 
Crocker Land Expedition. These supplemented the meagre 
reports of the Crocker Land party 
received in November, 1914, and asked 
that a relief ship be sent northward in the summer of rg15. 
Accordingly the ‘‘George B. Cluett,” belonging to the Gren- 
fell Association, was chartered for the trip and left Battle 
Harbor on the 26th of July, with Curator E. O. Hovey in 
charge, and Captain George Comer of East Haddam, Con- 
necticut, serving as ice pilot. 

The next news of the party came on 8 October, when a 
letter was received from Curator Hovey, dated Godthavn, 
Disko Island, Greenland, 4 August, 1915, in which Dr. Hovey 
said that the vessel had had a successful trip to Disko Island 
and that the party expected to reach Etah in ten days. Noth- 
ing further was heard from the relief expedition until a cable- 
gram was received on ro November from Mr. Knud Rasmus- 
sen, the Danish explorer, stating that the ‘‘Cluett” had 
arrived at North Star Bay, about 125 miles south of Etah, on 
12 September, after thirty-five stormy days crossing Melville 
Bay, and that she had not dared proceed to Etah on account 
of autumn ice. The cablegram stated that the motor boat at 


Crocker Land Expedition 


56 Report of the President 


the Danish station at North Star Bay would attempt to go 
north to Etah in an effort to bring the main expedition party 
down to the ‘‘ Cluett”’ in time for that ship to come south this 
season. Since that time no news of the relief ship has been 
received, with the exception of a letter from Mr. Rasmussen 
corroborating his telegram. Letters from Messrs. MacMillan 
and Ekblaw, dated March and April, and giving plans for the 
1915 spring work, were received via Denmark on 4 December. 
The necessity of the relief ship’s wintering in the North will 
of course be a very heavy expense to the Committee. Since 
Curator Hovey’s departure, Assistant Secretary George H. 
Sherwood has been Acting Chairman of the Committee in 
Charge. 


The installation of the material from Weyer’s Cave, Vir- 
ginia, is almost completed. This exhibit has been placed 
_ alongside the Copper Queen Cave, and will be as 
fascinating and instructive as the Copper Queen 
Cave has been. Approximately 1,725 specimens from the 
Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Carboniferous 
periods have been installed in the remodeled cases in the exhi- 
bition hall. 


Exhibition 


In order to provide room for the housing of the large 
Porto Rican collection, it was necessary to store a large 
amount of the duplicate material of the James Hall 
Laboratory ; - ; 
Work collection. The specimens of the Porto Rican col- 
lection were then unpacked, washed and sorted as 
to classes. The Schrammen collection of fossils acquired 
last year was removed from the Columbus Avenue storeroom 
to the mezzanine workroom to provide working space for 
specialists engaged on a study of the drill core samples col- 
lected by the engineers of the Board of Water Supply. Owing 
to lack of space in the Museum, the collection has been 
retained by the Board of Water Supply. Some time has been 
spent in identifying and labeling the Dr. Marshall collection 
of specimens from the terminal moraine at Hollis and Jamaica, 
Long Island. 


Report of the President 57 


With the aid of Mr. Adam Brickner, Curator Hovey has 
been at work on a catalogue of the Museum’s meteorite col- 
lection for publication. Assistant Curator Reeds 
has rendered assistance to President Osborn on 
various occasions in the preparation ‘of ‘‘Men of the Old 
Stone Age” and ‘‘ Review of the Pleistocene of Europe, Asia 
and Northern Africa.” In codperation with the Department 
of Anthropology, Assistant Curator Reeds spent considerable 
time in the field and laboratory investigating the geologic 
relations of ‘‘Stone Age Man” at Trenton and Plainfield, 
New Jersey, and Staten Island, New York. 


Research 


Eight scientific papers have been published or presented 
before scientific societies by members of the 


Publications department during the year. 


MINERALS 
DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY 


L. P. GRATACAP, Curator 


The Mineral Collection has been enlarged by the addition 

of 135 specimens, many of them of popular interest, from their 
size and beauty, many of mineralogical importance, 

Accessions from their rarity, and the rest illustrative of phase 
or locality in species already catalogued. The col- 

lection numbers now—in its totality of table- and wall-case 
specimens—more than 19,000 specimens. Its growth has been 
guided by the dual considerations of beauty and scientific 
enrichment, and, as it stands to-day, it offers a very compre- 
hensive survey of mineralogical phenomena, and doubtless, 
within its expanded groups of forms, conceals new and inter- 
esting crystallographic types. Its practical value to the public 
is unquestioned, but there is a very evident desire, manifested 
by the visitors, to see a collateral development of economic 
features, in connection with the mineral resources of the 
country. This aspect of mineralogical illustration greatly 
needs intensification. While its adequate treatment requires 


58 Report of the President 


a separate hall, and would be a disfiguring intrusion in the 
purely mineralogical series, it might be united eventually with 
the latter, in an ancillary manner, in a system of mineralogical 
exposition, which would contain the ores of the metals, the 
salts, clays, coals, cements, asphalts, graphites, abrasives, 
asbestos, sands and the building stones. A reciprocal refer- 
ence of one to the other, under some favorable plan of instal- 
lation, might be instituted, wherein both remained separate 
but coérdinated. 


The intention authoritatively expressed to make of the 
Gem Collection a fitting memorial to its generous donor, 
Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, suggests obviously the 
changes in the present Gem Room—or their incor- 
poration in some other and later apartment—which 
would make of it an appropriate monument. The color treat- 
ment of the walls in stone-veneering, the introduction of elec- 
trical chandeliers (electroliers) of conspicuous dignity in design 
and material, a change in the present useful but inelegant box 
cases, a mosaic floor tile of warm colors, and a broad or bold 
marqueterie would impart a congruous splendor to the remark- 
able and brilliant collection and immensely enhance its impres- 
siveness. 

In respect to the future growth or development of the Gem 
Collection—always maintained as a Morgan Memorial—it is 
compellingly clear that purely mineralogical specimens, other 
than those appertaining to gem values, should be rigorously 
excluded from its walls, while the introduction of peculiar or 
notable examples of jewelry—usually or preferably ethnic— 
such as may be seen in the collections at the Field Museum, 
would prove enormously attractive. The bizarre and almost 
barbaric types of the ornamental uses of gold, silver and pre- 
cious stones, in jewelry, as exemplified in the Egyptian, Algerian, 
Turkish, Etruscan, Persian and Indian examples, possess an 
indisputable fascination. It would bea really superb accom- 
paniment—this subordinated display of technical invention and 
national taste in connection too with chronological succession— 
to the Gem Collection itself, and it would be difficult to over- 
estimate its artistic influence, or to overvalue the unique charm

sion of the Museum. 


WOODS AND FORESTRY 


DEPARTMENT OF WOODS AND FORESTRY. 


MARY CYNTHIA DICKERSON, Curator 


The year 1915 must count as a very quiet one for the 
Department of Woods and Forestry, through lack of funds to 
carry on the work planned. There have been additions to 
the study collection of foreign woods, to the descriptive labels 
in the hall, to studies for wax reproductions of flowers, leaves 
and fruits. There has been carried on the usual work in 
identification of woods for teachers and other outside parties. 
A second artist’s sketch is in hand suggesting the mural 
painting for the east wall of the hall. It is hoped that 1916 
will see the work progress in the preparation of mural decora- 
tions, window transparencies and other features intended to 
give permanent beauty to the hall, and in the construction of 
exhibits to give practical knowledge of vital forestry con- 
ditions—effects of deforestation, forest fires, erosion, and the 
needs for rapid reforestation by nation and state. 


EXISTING INVERTEBRATES 


DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY 


HENRY EDWARD CRAMPTON, Curator 


During the past year, substantial progress has been made 
in the several lines of activity which, as for many years past, 
Field Work have been definitely established in the general 
and Research SCheme governing the expeditions, researches 

and publications of the department. This 
scheme, as outlined in previous reports, contemplates the 


60 Report of the President 


thorough study of the larger problems of evolution and distri- 
bution in the case of invertebrate organisms, especially those 
in the region lying between North and South America. To 
this end the department as a whole has profited greatly 
through its participation in the Porto Rican survey of the 
New York Academy of Sciences. During the year Curator 
Crampton revisited the island to complete its general recon- 
naissance and to make special collections; Mr. Roy W. Miner 
investigated the marine fauna of the shores about Guanica 
Harbor in effective codperation with Professor Raymond C., 
Osburn who was engaged in deep-water collecting in the same 
region, and Dr. Lutz with Mr. Mutchler prosecuted entomo- 
logical studies in characteristic localities. Through the 
generosity of Mr. B. Preston Clark, and with the codperation 
of the officers of the Ferro-carril de Samana y Santiago, Mr. 
Frank E. Watson was enabled to begin field-work in Santo 
Domingo, which is the essential link between Porto Rico and 
Cuba, where Dr. Lutz has made collections in previous years. 
Mr. Miner also spent a month in Vermont and Massachusetts 
to amplify the North American series of Myriapoda. Mean- 
while, Dr. Lutz and others of the staff have continued the 
intensive investigation of the local insect fauna in codperation 
with the New York Entomological Society; the fruits of the 
above field-work are scores of thousands of specimens that are 
peculiarly valuable for the prosecution of the tasks undertaken 
by the department. 

Several papers by members of the department have 
appeared and many others have been advanced, Dr. Lutz 
has published ‘‘A List of Spiders with Notes on 
their Distribution,” and also the results of his 
experiments with Drosophila ampelophila concerning natural 
selection. He has also nearly completed for press an extended 
review of the biometric work on the Laws of Variation, and is 
engaged in a study of certain scale insects, as well as the 
Hymenoptera of the West Indies and southern United States. 
Messrs. Leng and Mutchler published in 1914 a list of the 
Antillean Coleoptera, and Mr. Leng published in 1915 a list 
of the Carabide of Florida; these investigators are continuing 
their interesting studies on Caribbean Coleoptera. Mr.

Report of the President 61 


Watson has been engaged in editing the list of Floridian 
Lepidoptera which was left by Mr. Grossbeck, and has carried 
on extensive studies of his own, particularly in connection 
with Antillean Lepidoptera. The monograph of Cafoca/la, 
left by Mr. Beutenmiiller, has been edited by Dr. William 
Barnes of Decatur, Illinois, and is now awaiting publication. 
Professor Crampton has completed the first volume of his 
studies on the Polynesian genus Partwla; this is an extensive 
quarto dealing with the species of Tahiti and is now in press. 
While the material is from a distant region, the problems are 
the fundamental ones of evolution and distribution, as in the 
case of the American material described above. Mr. Miner 
has continued his work on the synonymic catalogue of the 
Myriapoda and Mr. Fisk has undertaken certain valuable 
studies on echinoderms. 

In Curator Gratacap’s division, the work during the past 
year has included the replacement of more than 7,500 labels 
in the exhibition hall and the organization of 
the gifts, purchases and exchanges accumu- 
lated during recent years. These have been separated, dis- 
tributed and classified, so as to constitute the basis for a study 
collection. Such series as are not on exhibition are at present 
placed in the drawers under the table cases, where, however, 
there is insufficient room to accommodate new material. There 
is urgent need for a room for Systematic Conchology, so that 
adequate provision may be made for students and collectors, 
thus to favor and encourage research by offering laboratory 
facilities. During the year the Curator installed at the north 
end of the hall an illuminative map, showing the principal 
Molluscan Provinces, with an accompanying exhibit of the 
characteristic genera of each province. Some aboriginal uses 
of shells in basket work are also illustrated in the north-end 
cases; a few more transparencies, conspicuously decorative as 
well as instructive, have been placed in position in the west 
windows, and a frieze design of shell and seaweed motifs, exe- 
cuted by Mr. Operti, has been painted on the walls. Renewal 
of labels in the soft green tones selected by the Director has 
been effected in the Synoptical Series, and the impression of 
finish, as well as of usefulness, has been progressively strength- 


Shell Collections 


62 Report of the President 


ened throughout. A work of more scientific importance, and 
one to be at once undertaken, is the revision of the generic 
names—not infrequently perhaps of the specific names also— 
of the exhibited shells. Such changes become imperative, in 
order that the authoritative value of the collection may be 
maintained. 

Six new glass models of distinctive Protozoa have been 
placed on exhibition in the Darwin Hall. Despite many 
ie difficulties, the elaborate and complicated Tide 

arwin Hall g 

Pool Group has been brought nearer completion, 
and the novel Bryozoa Group has also been advanced. Both 
should be.on exhibition in the near future. Other new exhib- 
its, illustrating evolutionary principles, are the Director’s 
panel showing the variation and distribution of Geospiza in the 
Galapagos Islands, and five panels of the Mendelian exhibit, 
showing the history of hereditary characters of the seeds 
and flowers of peas, as well as the inheritance of coat-color 
and pattern in rats. The material for the last named was 
presented by Professor William E. Castle and Mr. Raymond 
L. Ditmars. Models of Tahiti and of the related islands 
Raiatea and Tahaa have been prepared for installation; they 
illustrate certain phases of the subsidence-theory of Darwin, 
and they will also bear shells of the genus Partula showing 
the variations of the several species and subordinate forms in 
different geographical localities. 

In the division of insects and spiders, unusual success has 
been attained. Many new and striking exhibits have been 
installed which fill out the general scheme estab- 
lished some years ago. The problems of the 
study collection are especially difficult on account 
of the great number of species and because the specimens 
themselves are so numerous. Yet their general arrangement 
has now reached a point where some freedom has been gained 
for the prosecution of researches of a general nature. 

The department as a whole has been greatly strengthened 
by the accessions of the year. In addition to the series of 
Porto Rican invertebrates that have been men- 
tioned as accruing through the work of field 
parties, we have received a collection of annulates (from

different parts of the West Indies) from the Carnegie Insti- 
tution, through Professor A. L. Treadwell. The Congo 
Expedition has brought back large numbers of insects, 
mollusks and varied invertebrates that will require much time 
for their arrangement and analysis. Valuable series of shells 
have been donated by Mr. A. D. Gabay, and by the estate of 
Mary E. Wilde through Dr. George F. Kunz, while other 
specimens have been given by Messrs. C. E. Akeley, F. E. 
Hunt, B. Brown, V. Sterki and Mrs. W. K. Simpson. Mr. 
B. Preston Clark has added to his valuable gifts of Sphingide, 
and Professor William M. Wheeler has donated an extensive 
series of ants. The section of insects has been greatly 
strengthened by the purchase, through the Jesup Fund, of the 
Pearsall and the Kearfott collections; the former is especially 
rich in Geometride and the latter consists largely of Microlept- 
doptera, in both of which the Museum had already been well 
developed.

EXISTING REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS 


DEPARTMENT OF ICHTHYOLOGY AND HERPETOLOGY 


BASHFORD DEAN, Curator Emeritus; Louis HussakorF, Curator of Ichthyology 
Mary CynTuIA DICKERSON, Associate Curator of Herpetology 


The past year was one of quiet, steady work in all the activ- 
ities of the department. Attention centered chiefly in the 
preparation of material for exhibition, work which naturally 
must claim a large share of attention in a department which is 
still rather young as compared with most of the other depart- 
ments. 

FISHES 


Notwithstanding the somewhat unfavorable conditions for 
acquiring specimens, owing to the war, this was a satisfactory 
year for the growth of the collections. There were 
65 separate accessions, totaling about 1,500 speci- 
mens (exclusive of the Congo collection, which alone numbers 


Accessions 


6s Report of the President 


3,300 to 4,000 fishes). The department was fortunate also, as 
im past years, in being enabled, through the generosity of Mr. 
Cleveland H. Dodge, to procure a number of very valuable 
specimens. Among these are a suite of 34 examples of the 
primitive fossil fishes known as Arthrodira, from the Devonic 
shales near Cleveland, Ohio. This collection includes two 
complete heads, one with the dentition, of one of the smaller 
and rarer species of Dinichthys. The department was also 
enabled to participate in the reopening, by the British Asso- 
ciation for the Advancement of Science, of an old fossil fish 
quarry at Dura Den, Scotland, famous at one time for the rare 
fossil fishes obtained from it, but which has been closed for 
the past three or four decades. From this source we obtained 
five large slabs of sandstone covered with fishes, some of them 
im Exquisite preservation, and all interesting and important as 
the first examples of these classic materials received on this 
side of the Atlantic. 


Another very valuable accession during the year was a huge 
Devilfish, Manta hirostris, 17 feet in width, harpooned in 
Florida waters by Mr. Russell J. Coles, of Danville, 
Devilfish _ _. = ; 

irginia, and presented by him to the Museum. 
Accompanying the parts of the specimen sent to the Museum, 
was 2 plaster mold of the entire fish, made in the field, which 

will be utilized in preparing the fish for exhibition. 


In exhibition, the work centered around the preparation of 
models of sharks and the removal of the cases devoted to the 
Exhiici display of the teleosts, or food and game fishes, to 
another hall. The shark models, twenty-two in 
number, are being arranged in the cases. Each model is a 
Exhiie of Sharks beaatifal representation of the fish, prepared 
and Ocher Fishes With the utmost fidelity to nature. Though 

the space afforded by two cases is limited, still 
it has been found possible to represent nearly every family 
of sharks. 


The removal of the teleost exhibit, to which a part of the 
center of the bird hall has been assigned, was necessary to 
make room for the working up of the great Congo collections, 


Report of the President 65 


a work which could most advantageously be done in the 
former fish hall, which adjoins the taxidermic laboratories. 
The removal of the fishes afforded a favorable opportunity for 
rearranging all the specimens in the cases. 

It may also be mentioned that a life-sized model, eight feet 
in length, of the fossil fish Dinichthys has been prepared and 
is ready to be placed on exhibition. It is the first full- 
sized restoration of this ancient fish ever attempted. 


The study, or research, collections have received much 
attention during the year and are in a satisfactory condition. 
The department is the local center for all informa- 
tion regarding fishes, and numerous specimens were 
received during the year from various sources for 
identification, among them series of fossil fishes from several 
state geological surveys. 


Study 
Collections 


In matters concerning research and publication, the 
Bibliography of fish literature is the most important piece of 
Bish: é work in hand. The plan of the work is to pre- 
7h “ pare a catalogue of the entire literature relating 

to fishes, to be published in two volumes, one to 
give the titles arranged according to authors, the other to be 
a subject index to the first. The first volume, that of titles 
arranged under authors, will appear during 1916. The work 
has been made possible by a research fund annually voted 
Curator Emeritus Dean by the Trustees. This was increased 
during the past year by contributions from Dr. Dean and 
Mrs. Dean. 


REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS 


It was the good fortune of the department to be able to 
send Mr. Clarence R. Halter to Santo Domingo, for the 
- months of May and June; where a collection of 
_ ag aes Oe 
Sanchez. This material is entirely new to the American 
Museum collections and contains besides some rarities and 
specimens new to science. 
The department was able also to send Mr. Walter 
Escherich to Florida fer the month of May to do field work 


66 Report of the President 


preliminary to the construction of a large habitat group 
showing the reptile life typical of the cypress swamps and wet 
prairies of that state, besides a smaller floor group showing 
the gopher turtle and its sandy habitat. Most of the material 
was expressed from Florida (Kissimmee Prairie) to the Museum 
alive, and has been used as models for making mounts and 
wax casts for the group. 


The year 1915 has been one rich in valuable accessions for 
the Department of Herpetology, the batrachians added to the 
study collection numbering 370, and the reptiles 
690, outside of the Congo collection, which num- 
bers 4,800 specimens (reptiles and batrachians combined). 
The accession first in importance is that of the Congo 
Expedition of the American Museum. ‘These Congo speci- 
mens are extremely well preserved. In fact they are in a 
condition remarkable for a local collection, and when we recall 
that the material was collected under the difficulties of climate 
and travel in tropical Africa, and was kept in the tropics five 
or more years before shipment to America, its condition is truly 
phenomenal. The collection is particularly valuable scientifi- 
cally, in having a large number of representatives of a species 
from each area collected over, so that complete series are on 
hand with notes on habitat, color, breeding habits, etc., for 
comparative study. 

Other valuable accessions consist of the Douglas collection 
of 72 reptiles and batrachians from Matabeleland, South 
Africa, with several species new tothe Museum; 31 specimens 
in exchange with the Durban Museum, Natal, Africa; some 70 
specimens added to the collection from the Florida reptiles 
collected for group purposes; 250 specimens in a local col- 
lection made by Miss Stella R. Clemence at Woods Hole and 
the Elizabeth Islands; 12 specimens sent by Mr. Leo E. 
Miller from Antioquia, South America; 25 snakes in an 
exchange collection from the Institute Butantan, Brazil, and 
32 specimens from the New York Zodlogical Society. Among 
species of note accessioned are two specimens of tuatara 
(Sphenodon punctatum) from New Zealand, an almost extinct 
descendant of ancient reptiles, obtained alive through the

courtesy of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Wellington, New 
Zealand, via the Panama-Pacific Exposition; and 12 speci- 
mens of Syrrophus campi, a new cystignathid recently 
described, from Texas. It is also of interest that through 
purchase the department has obtained 13 specimens of the 
eggs of Sphenodon punctatum. There have been accessions 
of skeletons as follows: tuatara, bullfrog, python, and among 
turtles the green turtle, leatherback, Iberian tortoise, 
matamata, and the South American river turtle Podocnemis. 


Florida Group—The important work in exhibition has been 
in preparation for the Florida group, fifth in the series of 
groups showing the home life of reptiles, and the 
largest yet attempted. Cypress trees and other 
accessories for the group are awaiting the completion of work 
on the reptiles. Among the latter ready to date in wax cast 
or mount, are toads and Congo eels, skinks, chameleons, 
painted terrapins, mud turtles, soft-shelled turtles, alligator 
snapping turtle, diamond-back rattlesnakes, pigmy rattle- 
snakes, king and coral snakes and alligators at various stages 
of growth. The group when completed will show the nest of 
the alligator and young alligators hatching from the eggs. 


Exhibition 


Gopher Turtle Group—Several specimens are mounted for 
a floor group to show the habits of this large Zestudo and the 
sandy burrows where it makes its home. 


Sphenodon Group—The wonderful opportunity offered by 
the possession of two living specimens of tuatara has been 
utilized as far as possible, and the department is in possession 
of mounted specimens, models and casts, all made from life 
and of unusual accuracy. These are to be used in a floor 
group to show the tuatara in its native environment. 


Among other exhibits planned and in progress, in addition 
to the individual specimens needed to fill gaps in the synoptic 
series, is one showing the poisonous snakes of North America, 
with models, casts, skulls and X-ray photographs to show 
species and poison apparatus and the development of poison 
apparatus in snakes, with a full account of the action of the 
poison and its treatment by antivenomous serum. 


68 Report of the President 


The work of renumbering and recataloguing the reptile 
study collection (heretofore reported as in progress), as well 
as cataloguing all new accessions, is 
finished to date with permanent refer- 
ence catalogue and a corresponding department catalogue. 
Similar work on the batrachian collection is still to be done. 

There has been much identification work carried on, inclu- 
ding that on the Eugene Smith collection of roo reptiles and 
150 batrachians of North America and Europe. Research is 
in progress, and papers will soon be published on the Santo 
Domingo collection as well as on the Lower California mate- 
rial obtained on the ‘‘Albatross ”’ expedition. 


Collections and Research 


The department reports with regret the resignation of Miss 
S. R. Clemence as assistant. The reptile study collection 
with its present admirable arrangement and 
accurate catalogues stands as a credit to her 
two years of painstaking labor in getting it into ready refer- 
ence condition. Miss Arline Field becomes keeper of the col- 
lection in her place.

The safe return of Messrs. Herbert Lang and James P. 
Chapin, the leaders of the Congo Expedition of the American 
Museum of Natural History, after six years of uninterrupted 
and eminently successful field work in tropical Africa, with 
their immense collections of natural history material, is an 
event that will long render the year 1915 memorable in the 
history of the Museum and especially in the history of the 
Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology. The year 1915 
forms also the sixth year of continuous exploration in South 
America in the interests of this department, under the direc- 
tion of Curator Chapman.

Report of the Prestdent 69 


As in former years, the principal accessions have been 
acquired through Museum expeditions, but never have the 
accessions from this source so greatly preponder- 
ated as during the present year. The accessions 
comprise about 4,375 mammals and about 14,000 birds, 
of which about ninety per cent. are from Museum expedi- 
tions. 


Accessions 


We are indebted especially to the New York Zodlogical 
Society and to the Department of Parks for many valuable 
birds and mammals received in the flesh. We are deeply 
indebted to the Goeldi Museum at Para, Brazil, through the 
Director, Dr. Emilie Snethlage, for a large gift of birds and 
mammals from the lower Amazon, nearly all of which were 
not only new to our collections but include rare and interest- 
ing types. A number of very desirable birds and mammals 
have also been received from Brother Apolinar Maria, from 
the Bogota district. 


The collection of birds and mammals received through the 
Congo Expedition of the American Museum of Natural 
History is not only remarkable for number 
of specimens but for careful preparation and 
exceptionally complete and valuable field notes. Although a 
large part of the collection was necessarily stored for several 
years in an excessively humid, tropical climate, awaiting 
favorable transportation, every specimen arrived at the 
Museum in excellent condition—probably an unparalleled 
record for natural history field work in the tropics. The 
mammals obtained number about 3,000 specimens and include 
not only large series of the smaller species, as bats, insectivores 
and rodents, but many large forms, as rhinos, elephants, pigs, 
buffalos, antelopes in great variety, carnivores and monkeys. 
Among the many especially notable species are the okapi, 
bongo, giant eland, giraffe, wild hogs and white rhinoceros. 
The birds number about 6,000, representing very fully the 
avifauna of the Congo. Many species of both birds and 
mammals were collected with accessories for mounting as 
habitat groups. 


Congo Expedition 


70 Report of the President 


Important collections were made early in the year in 
Antioquia by Messrs. Leo E. Miller and Howarth S. Boyle, 
and later in Bolivia, where their work will be 
systematically continued during much of the 
coming year. Several months were devoted by Messrs. H. E. 
Anthony and D. S. Ball of the department staff, assisted by 
Mr. William B. Richardson, formerly employed by the 
Museum in Ecuador and southwestern Colombia, to explora- 
tions in eastern Panama, with excellent results. Through the 
generosity of Messrs. Alfred M. Collins and Lee Garnett Day, 
the Museum was represented on the Collins-Day Expedition 
to South America by Mr. George K. Cherrie, who secured a 
valuable collection of birds. Hitherto little work has been 
done in Peru by the Museum’s South American expeditions, 
but recently arrangements have been completed with Messrs. 
H. and C. Watkins, engineers long resident in that country 
and experienced collectors, for a systematic reconnaissance 
of this important field, and they are already making good 
progress with the work. 

The work of the Brewster-Sanford Expedition, in charge 
of Mr. Rollo H. Beck, is still being successfully prosecuted 
off the southern shores of South America and in the Falkland 
Islands. About 2,000 specimens have been received from this 
expedition during the present year. 

The number of birds added during the year from our South 
American expeditions is approximately 7,000; of mammals, 
about 1,000. 


South America 


The principal additions to the exhibition series of birds 
are the Sandhill Crane Habitat Group, the locality repre- 
sented being Heron Lake, Minnesota, and a 
large Penguin Group from South Georgia Island. 
A Rocky Mountain Sheep Group, a Black Bear Group, showing 
the color phases of the species, and an Indiana Bat Cave 
Group, have been added to the exhibition series of North 
American mammals. 

Through the courtesy and codperation of Colonel Franklin 
Brandreth and Mr. Frederick Potter, Mr. Andrews was 
enabled to secure specimens of buck, doe and fawn of the

Virginia Deer and the accessories for a Habitat Deer Group. 
These were taken on the Brandreth Preserve in the Adiron- 
dacks. Mr. Andrews was materially assisted by Mr. Courtney 
Brandreth, who has executed the color sketch for the back- 
ground. 

New metal cases have been installed for the reception of 
the birds of the Congo Expedition, and considerable progress 
has been made in the systematic rearrange- 
ment of the mammals, both skins and skele- 
tons, but this important work is still seriously delayed by lack 
of storage facilities. While the collections are in safe condi- 
tion, considerable parts of them are not readily accessible 
for use. 

Curator Chapman has been unremittingly engaged upon 
the birds received from the South American expeditions, and 
has so far completed their determination that his 
report on the birds of Colombia is nearing comple- 
tion, in which will be presented the results of his studies of 
the faunal zones of this highly diversified portion of South 
America. Mr. George K. Cherrie has been engaged for several 
months on the preparation of his report on the birds of the 
Roosevelt Brazilian Expedition, on which he was one of the 
Museum’s representatives. Assistant Curator Andrews has 
completed his monograph of the Sei Whale, which is now in 
press; in addition to the anatomy, life history and relation- 
ships of the species presented by Mr. Andrews, it will also 
contain, as Part II, a detailed description of a fcetus of this 
whale, by Dr. H. von W. Schulte, based on a specimen col- 
lected by Mr. Andrews. 

The Curator has completed and published his monographic 
revision of the South American Sciuride, and has in hand 
nearly completed reports on, respectively, the mammals of 
Colombia, the mammals of Ecuador, and the mammals of the 
Roosevelt Brazilian Expedition. 

The publications of this department during the year com- 
prise eight papers in the Awl/etin and one in the Memoirs. 
The papers in the Bulletin aggregate about 290 
pages, with 14 plates and 22 text figures; they 
include two papers by Curator Chapman describing many new

200 pages of text, 31 plates and 48 text figures. 


EXTINCT VERTEBRATES 
DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALA ONTOLOGY 


HENRY FAIRFIELD OsBorN, Curator Emeritus; W. D. MATTHEW, Curator 


The field work of the department this year was limited to 
a single expedition by Mr. Barnum Brown, continuing his 
Field campaign in the Cretaceous dinosaur beds of 
Expeditions Alberta. The exceptional success of this party 
in 1914 was noted in last year’s report. During 
the 1915 season another fine series of specimens was secured; 
while not equal in value to the previous year’s collection, it 
contains a number of fine skulls and more or less complete 
skeletons. The most remarkable perhaps is a new type of 
armored dinosaur, the teeth of which, found occasionally in 
the Cretaceous formations, were named Pa/aoscincus by Leidy 
fifty years ago, but the animal had remained otherwise 
unknown until Mr. Brown’s discovery of a fine skull and jaws 
with the greater part of the skeleton. 


The skeleton of Zyrannosaurus has been completed and, 
for the present, stands in the center of the Hall of the Age of 
Man, as there is not room for it in the Dinosaur 
Hall. This skeleton is the finest single exhibit 
in the department; its mounting technique is considered excep- 
tionally good, and of its kind unequaled; and the scientific 
value and popular interest are enhanced by the extreme rarity 
of these skeletons, their gigantic size and the fierce and 
predatory character of the animal. 

A second skeleton of a carnivorous dinosaur from the 
Alberta Cretaceous, Ornithomimus, is of widely contrasted type

DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALAONTOLOGY 


SKELETON OF TYRANNOSAURI 


In its explorations of the « losing period of the Age of Reptiles, in the Upper Cretaceous of 
Northern Montana, the Museum has secured a pair of these great flesh-eating 


dinosaurs, which attained a height of 1846 feet and a length of 47 feet 


Report of the President 13 


from the 7yrannosaurus, a l\ong-necked, slenderly proportioned: 
active animal, with small head and no teeth. A fine panel 
skeleton of this rare type has been completed. 

The skeleton of the Duck-billed Dinosaur Corythosaurus 
has been completed and installed in the Dinosaur Hall. In 
this specimen a great part of the skin of body, limbs and tail 
was preserved on both right and left sides, but the crushing 
of the rocks had flattened the specimen until in some places 
it was hardly thicker than paper, while in other parts it was 
very thick, heavy and fragile. To preserve and prepare this 
specimen without damage and exhibit both sides of the animal 
constituted a difficult and tedious piece of preparation work, 
involving a network of steel rods and wires concealed within 
and below the specimen. Besides being the type of a new 
genus and species, it shows the skin, the ossified tendons and 
even some traces of the muscles. 

In the Hall of the Age of Man, the entire exhibit of fossil 
Proboscidea has been rearranged and reinstalled, much new 
material being added. Among these additions are: (1) 
remains of a frozen mammoth from northwestern Alaska found 
by Mr. L. S. Quackenbush in 1908; (2) series of teeth and 
jaws of fossil elephants and mastodons to illustrate their 
distribution, phylogeny, etc.; (3) male and female mastodon 
and elephant skulls, jaws, etc.; (4) jaws and teeth of Tertiary 
proboscideans, illustrating the principal known types; (5) 
skulls and jaws illustrating the evolution of the mastodon 
(Meritherium, Paleomastodon, Trilophodon, Dibelodon, Mas- 
todon). 

On the south side of the same hall, considerable additions 
and rearrangements are in progress among the fossil mammals 
of South America. 

Two mounted skeletons have been added to the series in 
the Tertiary Mammal Hall. One is the large extinct wolf 
Canis dirus from the asphalt beds at La Brea, the other the 
extinct Pampean deer of South America, Brachyceros pampaus. 
The reinstallation of the exhibits on the south side of the 
Dinosaur Hall is in progress, the new method of panel mount- 
ing allowing large additions to the exhibits, besides showing 
each specimen more effectively. 


74 Report of the President 


Considerable progress has been made in the preparation 
of the great collection of Cretaceous dinosaurs from Alberta. 
“ ei In addition to the completed exhibits already 
Silene noted, a skeleton of the Horned Dinosaur 
Study Collections Monoclonius and one of an armored dinosaur, 

probably new, are being prepared, also skulls 
of five other large and remarkable dinosaurs, two with con- 
siderable parts of the skeletons, and an incomplete skeleton 
of a horned dinosaur in which a large part of the skin is pre- 
served. A fine skull and jaws of a Tertiary mastodon have 
been partly prepared, work has been continued upon the 
series of skeletons of the ‘‘ Clawed Ungulate”’ AMoropus, and 
a number of other specimens have been prepared for study. 


The greatest need of Vertebrate Paleontology in the 
Museum is adequate exhibition space for our unique collection 
aries of Upper Cretaceous dinosaurs. This can be 
remedied only by providing an additional 
exhibition hall to accommodate the Jurassic 
and Lower Cretaceous dinosaurs, a considerable part of which 
is at present withdrawn for lack of space while the remainder 
occupies a large part of the present Dinosaur Hall, which should 
be devoted exclusively to Cretaceous dinosaurs. 


Exhibition Space 


The installation of metal racks and trays in the larg 
dinosaur storeroom has relieved a serious and dangerous con- 
gestion in these collections, to which atten- 
tion has been called in previous reports. 
The new arrangement consists of three 
large steel stacks with steel-framed trays for large bones, 
replacing the old temporary arrangement of wooden tables, 
and a series of fireproof wall-stacks for the standard wooden 
trays. A movable elevator makes it practicable to shift 
and handle the loaded trays. This installation will remove 
all danger from fire, increase the accommodation of the store- 
room about threefold and make every specimen readily acces- 
sible and easily removable. When completed it will take care 
of the present and prospective study collections of dinosaurs 
for at least ten years. At present, two of the large stacks 


New Installation 
of Study Collections 


Report of the President 75 


have been completed and the principal wall-stack is being set 
up. These will hold our present fossil reptile collections and 
leave ample space for laying out materials for study on tables. 
This relief will in turn make it possible to rearrange the other 
storerooms and offices of the department in a more satis- 
factory way. 


Professor Osborn has made a very extensive and thorough 
study of Palzolithic Man, the results of which appear in his 
volume ‘‘Men of the Old Stone Age,” pub- 
The Evolution of i heq by Charles Scribner’s Sons. It reviews 
Man. Researches : ‘ ; 
Sadi Bahibite the geologic, palzontologic and archzologic 
evidence bearing upon the habits, environ- 
ment and art of early man, and has been highly praised as an 
authoritative and very interesting presentation of the latest 
results of recent scientific research. Doctor Gregory has 
continued his research upon the Evolution and Affinities of 
the Primates, for which an admirable foundation was laid 
through the recent publication of Dr. D. G. Elliot’s Monograph, 
‘*A Review of the Primates.” The studies upon the lower 
primates (Lemuroidea) living and extinct have been almost 
completed, and the studies upon the higher primates (Anthro- 
poidea) are well under way. Some important results of these 
studies, presented before the Paleontological Society and 
elsewhere, have already been published. 

A small but important series of specimens, casts and 
models illustrating fossil man and his Tertiary ancestors has 
been brought together, with a collection permanently deposited 
by Dr. J. Leon Williams as a nucleus, which was exhibited 
during the year at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San 
Francisco. When returned to the Museum it will be installed 
in the Hall of the Age of Man. 


Professor Osborn has continued researches upon the 
Titanotheres, Sauropodous dinosaurs, the great Carnivorous 
Dinosaur Zyrannosaurus and upon the Three- 
toed horses of the Tertiary period. Doctor 
Matthew and Mr. Granger have continued 
their revision of the Lower Eocene mammals and Mr. Brown

has continued his studies upon the Cretaceous dinosaurs. In 
the Dinosaur Handbook issued by the Museum Dr. Matthew 
has given a popular account of this great order of extinct 
reptiles, with especial reference to the American Museum col- 
lections and including reprints of a number of notices of 
important dinosaur specimens first published in Zhe American 
Museum Fournal. A Guide Leaflet to the fossil Proboscidean 
collections, ‘‘Mammoths and Mastodons,” has also been 
issued. 


The results of research work upon the collections, by 
Dr. F. von Huene and by members of the staff, appear in five 
articles in the American Museum 4uletin.

Our Peruvian collections received an important addition in 
Mr. A. D. Juilliard’s Ica collection, particularly rich in exam- 
ples of the textile art. Deserving of mention isa 
series of rare embroidered garments and unfinished 
cloths still in their looms, revealing the processes of weaving. 

The Congo Expedition of the American Museum of Natural 
History brought about 4,000 ethnological specimens from the 
Mangbettu and neighboring tribes in the northeastern part of 
the Congo. All the principal industries of these people are 
fully represented and the acquisition of a full assortment 
of earthenware vessels is especially noteworthy, since the 
Museum’s African collections have hitherto been particularly 
lacking in pottery. In addition to completed specimens of 
the ceramic art, there are others illustrating the process of 
manufacture. The highly developed basketry technique is 
fully represented, also iron weapons and implements. Physical 
anthropology is represented by a number of casts and a large

series of photographs of the principal types found in this 
region. 

Mr. George C. Longley enriched his Jamaica collection by 
a large number of stone celts, potsherds and bird, fish and 
animal bones from cavedeposits. This gift has been added to 
the very large collection previously presented by Mr. Longley, 
and will be found on exhibition in a section of the South 
American Gallery. 


There were many other noteworthy gifts to our general 
collections, the enumeration of which will be found in the 
tabulated list of accessions, but mention may be made of an 
Eskimo collection from the late Mr. H. V. Radford, an eth- 
nological collection from the Indians of the Plains and the 
Southwest by Dr. J. V. Lauderdale and a series of stone and 
pottery objects from the Province of Bogota, Colombia, by 
Dr. José M. Rosales. These and the other gifts in the table 
are gratefully received, for by this steady accumulation our 
study and exhibition collections are made increasingly useful. 


Our collections were also strengthened by a number of pur- 
chases from the income of the Jesup Fund. An archeologi- 
cal collection from the Island of Marajo, Brazil, collected by 
Mr. Algot Lange, was purchased. This contains some 2,700 
specimens, chiefly pottery. A large African collection from 
Barotseland was procured as a gift in memory of Mrs. Samuel 
Lawrence. In addition to these large items there was a 
number of smaller purchases to supplement our North Ameri- 
can collections, which are listed under accessions. 


The scientific survey of Porto Rico by the New York 
Academy of Sciences has included archeological work among 
its many activities. This work was under the immediate 
direction of Professor Franz Boas of Columbia University. 
As the Museum was a contributor to the field funds of the 
Academy, the collections are deposited here. The excava- 
tions this year included the clearing out of several cave 
deposits and the partial uncovering of a village site. The 
caves yielded skeletal material only. The village site proves 
to be of unusual interest but cannot be fully reported upon at 
present. 


78 Report of the President 


As heretofore, field-work in the Southwestern culture area 
of the United States was conducted on two codrdinate lines, 
one among the surviving aborigines, the other 
among the remains of prehistoric peoples includ- 
ing the ancestors of the living natives. 
Professor A. L. Kroeber of the University of California joined 
our field staff in June and began work at Zufii. A collection 
of about 1,000 pieces was made illustrating the most 
important native industries. The chief subject of investiga- 
tion this season was the family organization, methods of 
reckoning kinship and descent and the clan system. A com- 
plete survey of the village was made and a census of the 
families taken. Incidentally, all the adjacent ruinous sites of 
former villages were examined and, by means of a series of 
pottery fragments from each, a tentative chronological group- 
ing was made. 

Associate Curator Robert H. Lowie spent a few weeks 
among the Hopi in an intensive study of their relationship 
terminology and family systems. A small collection was 
obtained as supplementary to our exhibition series. 

In May, Assistant Curator Nels C. Nelson again took up 
his archeological work, which occupied his whole time to the 
end of the year. Chief attention was given to the larger ruins 
in the outskirts of the Galisteo group. As in previous years, 
several hundred rooms were completely excavated and careful 
surveys of the respective sites made. During the latter part 
of the season, Mr. Nelson made an excursion southwestward 
as far as Zufii so that his field observations would coérdinate 
with those of Professor Kroeber, noted above. 

President Livingston Farrand of the University of Colorado 
invited our codperation in a survey of the little-known sites in 
the southern part of Colorado. His invitation was gladly 
accepted and a joint expedition sent out in charge of Mr. Earl 
H. Morris, of the University Museum. At last report this 
work was progressing satisfactorily. 

Assistant Curator Herbert J. Spinden, who in former years 
made an extensive study of the surviving peoples in the gen- 
eral region of Mr. Nelson’s excavations, spent the season in 
New York preparing a formal report upon his investigations. 


Field Work 
and Research 


Report of the President 79 


The sections discussing social organization and material 
culture are now ready. 

Under the head of general North American research, two 
main groups of field problems were pursued independently 
Archeological investigations were confined to our local field. 
Mr. Leslie Spier spent the entire summer excavating in the 
sands of Abbott’s Farm at Trenton and at various points in 
similar deposits to the north. The work of the previous 
season made clear the necessary methods of approach to the 
problem, so that we now have from the Trenton site all the 
archeological data needed for its interpretation. This work 
will have an important bearing upon the vexing question of 
man’s antiquity in the New World. All that now remains is 
to determine the geological position of the deposit. This isa 
complex problem and will require further field-work. Dr. 
Chester A. Reeds, Assistant Curator of Geology, is conducting 
this part of the investigation. 

Assistant Curator Alanson Skinner gave some attention to 
local rock-shelters, but so far no definite stratification has 
come to light. A part of Mr, Skinner’s time was given to a 
review of local archzological collections, to see what correla- 
tion, if any, they made with the culture appearing in the 
Trenton deposits. 

Investigations among the living tribes were in two con- 
tiguous areas, the Plains and the Plateau areas. Associate 
Curator Robert H. Lowie visited the Southern Paiute of 
southwestern Utah and Nevada, heretofore practically an 
unknown people to the literature of the region. A general 
collection was made and a large series of myths recorded. 

Under the supervision of the Curator, Mr. James R. Murie 
has been collecting specimens and compiling data on the 
Pawnee Indians. Rev. G. L. Wilson continued his exhaustive 
investigation of the material culture of the Mandan-Hidatsa 
Indians, giving particular attention to the art of cultivating 
maize. 

Research in the Museum was greatly strengthened by the 
establishment of the new position of honorary research asso- 
ciate. In anthropology, Mr. M. D. C. Crawford was appointed 
Research Associate in Textiles and Dr. George Bird Grinnell 


80 Report of the President 


Research Associate in Ethnology. Mr. Crawford is making 
an intensive study of the fiber and weaving technique of ancient 
Peru. Assistant Curator Charles W. Mead is investigating 
design development in Peruvian art. Dr. P. E. Goddard, 
Curator of Ethnology, is engaged in a phonetic and morpho- 
logical analysis of the Beaver Indian language as a part of a 
comparative study of Athapascan speech. 


Under the general supervision of Curator Goddard, good 
progress was made in the development of our exhibits. The 
most distinctive work of the year was the comple- 
tion of the Hopi Indian Group in the hall devoted 
to the native inhabitants of southwestern United States. 
This depicts Hopi family life in full-sized setting and in the 
background the well-known village of Walpi. The artists, 
Mr. Howard McCormick and Mr. Mahonri M. Young, have 
been very successful with the composition. Early in the year 
the same artists began a companion group for the Apache 
which is now in course of construction. 

In order to install the Minor C. Keith collection it was 
necessary for Assistant Curator Spinden to make a complete 
readjustment of the Mexican Hall. The Keith collection now 
occupies approximately one-third of the hall, the pottery 
being in upright and table cases and the heavy stone objects 
on special mountings. Four metal-frame cases for gold and 
other precious objects were placed in the center of the hall. 
To make room for these a series of Maya monuments was 
removed to the entrance hall on the same floor where they 
receive superior lighting, but enough remain to represent this 
important civilization. The Mexican collections were arranged 
so as to make clear the distinctions between the different 
culture horizons: Archaic, Toltec, Aztec, etc. The recent 
field collections from Salvador and the excellent material, 
especially the stone sculptures, received from the Metropolitan 
Museum were placed on exhibition. 

The exhibit of California Indians which is temporarily in a 
section of the Southwest Hall was moved to make room for 
the construction of the Apache group and somewhat rear- 
ranged to adjust it to the space available. The final arrange-

ment of the North Pacific Coast Hall and the shifting of the 
Eskimo exhibit were delayed pending the completion of the 
necessary Cases. 

The labeling of the important exhibits has proceeded as 
rapidly as the printed cards came to hand. The series of 
tribal labels and location maps is now fairly complete and 
makes our collections far more intelligible to the studious 
visitor. 

In 1914 this department began a series of January lectures 
dealing with technical subjects in anthropology. This year 
the subject was ‘‘Aboriginal American Art,” and the lectures 
were given by the Curator and Assistant Curator Spinden. 
The attendance and interest in these lectures are encouraging. 


Eleven scientific papers have been published during the 
year in the Anthropological Papers, by members of 


Publications 
pe the department staff. 


ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 
DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 
RALPH W. Tower, Curator 


After a year of work in the Museum, Mr. Clarence R. 
Halter resigned his position as laboratory assistant on Sep- 
tember 30. His place has been taken by Mr. Charles F. 
Herm, recently of Cornell Medical College and Rockefeller 
Institute. Mr. Herm is a highly skilled technician, and his 
scientific training will undoubtedly prove of great value to the 
institution. Up to the present time this phase of departmental 
activity has enjoyed but a mere existence, its energies being 
spent almost entirely on work requisitioned by other depart- 
ments. With the reorganization, practical and experimental 
work has been planned which will show by actual demonstra- 
tion the results of modern physiological thought. 

Among the large and difficult preparations which Messrs. 
Johnstone and Cohn have completed this year, are 2 whales, 
1 elk and 1 Asiatic deer. The total activities of this section 


82 Report of the President 


of the department have amounted to the preparation of 104 
skeletons, 581 skulls and 1o body skeletons. 

To the collection of limb bones and the series illustrating 
the form and structure of the stomach, now on exhibition in 
the Synoptic Hall, there has been added a series of corrosion 
models of the kidney which were prepared by the late Dr. C. 
W. F. Muenchehofe, and also a series of wax models of 
chondro-cranii. 


PUBLIC HEALTH 
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH 


CHARLES-EDWARD AMORY WINSLOW, Curator 


The section of the Hall of Public Health illustrating 
insect-borne diseases has been pushed rapidly toward comple- 
tion during the year. 

The exhibits dealing with the fly and its relation 
to disease have been materially extended. The life history 
and the favorite breeding places of the fly are shown and the 
rate of multiplication of the offspring of a single pair during a 
season is illustrated. A large habitat group shows a section 
of a stable with its barnyard, a cornfield and orchard in the 
distance, and in the foreground the principal natural enemies 
of the fly, including the hen, the toad, swallows, a phebe, a 
bat, wasps, spiders and centipedes. The relation of the fly 
to the spread of typhoid fever and infant mortality is illus- 
trated by models, as are practical methods of fly control, 
including the care of manure and the trapping of larve and 
adult flies. 

Substantial progress has also been made in the section of 
the exhibit devoted to the relation between mosquitoes and 
disease. The condition of the hospitals at Panama during the 
French régime is shown, in comparison with the modern hos- 
pitals now in operation. Group models illustrate the control 
of malarial mosquitoes on the Isthmus by ditching and oiling, 
and the destruction of yellow fever mosquitoes by fumigation. 
The life history of the malarial mosquito and the destruction 


Exhibition 


Report of the President 83 


of mosquitoes by oil and by predaceous fish are illustrated. 
Among the additions to this exhibit are an oil-painting of 
Camp Lazear, where American Army surgeons demonstrated 
the mosquito theory of yellow fever, and a photograph of 
General Gorgas, who so effectively put this theory to the test 
at Cuba and at Panama. 

The most important single addition to the Hall of Public 
Health during the year is a remarkably detailed and accurate 
model of the body louse, the carrier of typhus fever. This 
model is 100 times the length of the insect and was prepared 
from the study and comparison of many hundreds of speci- 
mens by Mr. Ignaz Matausch, who donated it to the Museum. 

A colored frieze, illustrating the clouds as the original 
source of water supply, the storage of water in lakes and its 
history as it flows down through smaller and then larger 
streams, has been prepared by Mr. A. Operti for the portion 
of the hall occupied by the exhibits of water supply sanitation. 


The work of the Museum of Living Bacteria was supported 
during the early part of the year by special gifts from Mr. 
Felix M. Warburg and Dr. Walter B. 
James. The assistance thus rendered 
at a critical period made possible the continuance of this 
unique service, which the Museum renders to hundreds of 
institutions of learning all over the world, a service which the 
disorganization of scientific work in Europe has rendered of 
peculiar importance. The income from the Morris K. Jesup 
Fund has finally made it possible to place the work of this 
laboratory on a more permanent basis and to employ a much- 
needed additional laboratory assistant. 

The laboratory now has 695 different strains of bacteria 
under cultivation. Newly discovered organisms like those 
having causal relation to typhus fever and to common colds 
are being constantly added to the collection. During the 
year ending December 1, 1915, 3,404 cultures were sent out 
without charge to laboratories of universities and health 
departments, making a total of 11,216 cultures distributed 
since the opening of the laboratory. More than 408 different 
institutions have benefited by this service. 


Bacteriological Museum 


84 Report of the President 


The department has continued throughout the year to 
codperate with the Museum Department of Public Education 
Reroute WV oRE in keeping up the Public Health Albums 
the High Schools and exhibits of insects and bacteria for 

circulation in the public schools. Supplies 
of sterile culture media for the demonstration of bacteria have 
been furnished to many of the high schools in the city. 

The staff of the department has codperated during the 
year with the New York City Department of Health in a 
study of the mosquito problem in Central 
Park and with the New York State Depart- 
ment of Health in a mosquito survey in the 
neighborhood of the College Settlement at Mt. Ivy. Special 
studies have been carried on in coéperation with the New 
York State Commission on Ventilation, on the bacteriology of 
colds and on the dust content of factory air. During the 
summer several of the exercises of the New York University 
School for Health Officers were held at the Museum and 
lectures were delivered by the department staff. The Hall of 
Public Health, as heretofore, has been used extensively for 
instructional purposes by classes from medical schools, schools 
of pharmacy, colleges and normal schools. 

Dr. Kligler has completed during the year a series of 
studies on the bacteriology of dental decay under the auspices 
of The First Dental Society of the State of New 
York, which promises to make a contribution of 
fundamental importance to this complex problem. Curator 
Winslow, as Chairman of a committee appointed by the Society 
of American Bacteriologists to study and report on the classi- 
fication of the Colon-typhoid group of Bacteria, has begun 
work upon this subject, with the Museum collection of types 
as a basis. 

Mr. S. D. Kramer, after a year’s efficient service, has left 
the Museum to take a position as Assistant in the Department 
Staff of Biological Chemistry of Columbia University. His 

place has been taken by L. V. Coleman, S.B. Mr. 
Kligler this year received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 
at Columbia University and devoted his time largely to special 
research problems.

Report of the President 85 
THE LIBRARY 


DEPARTMENT OF BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS 


RALPH W. Tower, Curator 


The activities in the library have not differed greatly from 
those of other years. It is a pleasure to report that the year 
has shown a steady growth both in public use and in the 
addition of valuable publications. The library now numbers 
68,636 bound volumes and pamphlets, all of which are readily 
accessible to students and investigators. 


Undoubtedly no department of the Museum feels the 
growth of the institution and the expansion of its activities 
more than the library. Each new expedition, each new 
specimen, each new department, each new officer makes new 
demands upon the resources of the library, resulting in the 
establishment of exchange with new organizations, the 
systematic revision of the collections to meet the new condi- 
tions and in obtaining new and appropriate material. To 
avoid the accession of duplicates, infinite patience and care 
are required in ‘‘checking up” before each contemplated 
purchase. This is particularly the case with many of the older 
works which were issued as a part of a series, or as a continu- 
ation in a periodical but afterward independently published in 
a separate volume containing in many cases no clue to the 
original source. This constantly recurring difficulty could be 
met to a large extent by the employment of a bibliographer 
whose first duty should be to compile the bibliographies of the 
many authors whose works have appeared in double form or 
are hidden in the publications of the foreign societies. Miss 
Hepburn has just completed such a bibliography on the 
Buffon series which, strangely enough, seems never heretofore 
to have been accomplished. In the construction of these 
bibliographies there is opportunity for genuine scientific 
research within the library. 


The new arrangement of the anthropological section has 
proved itself of pragmatic value and highly adapted to the 
demands of the scientists conversant with the subject. A 


86 Report of the President 


similar revision of the geological section should next be made 
and would have been already initiated had not routine work 
kept over-busy the limited staff. 


The most notable accession during the year was made 
possible by the generosity of Mr. Ogden Mills who presented 
a copy of the colored edition of the famous ‘‘Anti- 
quities of Mexico” by Lord Kingsborough, a monu- 
mental work in nine folio volumes, published 1831-48. The 
treatise contains facsimile reproductions of all native manu- 
scripts from Mexico and Central America known at that time, 
including many famous codices of the Maya and the Mexicans, 
and the republication of many valuable government reports 
relating to Mexican civilization. The work contains one thou- 
sand plates, colored by hand from the originals, embracing 
the remains of Mexican picture-writing, architecture and 
sculpture, thus giving to the world a record of one of the 
most wonderful civilizations ever known. There are fac- 
similes of the ancient paintings and hieroglyphics preserved 
in the royal libraries of Paris, Berlin, Dresden and Vienna; 
the Vatican Library; the Borgian Museum at Rome; the 
Library of the Institute at Bologna and the famous Bodleian 
Library at Oxford. To-day this work, containing as it does 
the only reproductions ever issued of a number of very impor- 
tant native manuscripts, is absolutely indispensable to students 
of Mexican Archeology. 

Among other acquisitions of importance are: Reptilia and 
Batrachia of Egypt by John Anderson, 1898; Die Ebore Fossili 
by Ioannes Fridericus Beyschlag, 1734; Die Kafer Europa's 
by Dr. H.C. Kiister and G. Kraatz, a set of forty-six parts, 
1844-1910; Association Frangatse pour 1’ Avancement des Sciences, 
1872-1913, a set of forty-two volumes; Confessonarto en Lengua

The activities in the Osborn Library of Vertebrate Pale- 
ontology have of necessity been confined to routine work. 
The most important accession was a 
complete set of the Juternational Cata- 
logue of Scientific Literature, section rela- 
ting to Paleonology. Volume IV of Fossil Vertebrates in the 
American Museum of Natural History has been issued and dis- 
tributed so far as possible to the exchanges. Volume V of 
the same series is also nearly completed and will soon be ready 
for distribution. The lack of sufficient stacking space pre- 
vents the installation of all the books pertinent to the subject 
now housed in the general library. An increased physical 
equipment would be highly welcomed and would make the 
Osborn Library a still more complete and efficient unit in the 
subject of Vertebrate Paleontology.

The technical and popular publications of the Museum, on 
which the sum of $19,000 has been expended during the cur- 
rent year, are used in making exchanges with other scientific 
organizations, and it is estimated that publications received 
are equivalent in value to the publications sent out. 

On account of the war, the scientific publications received 
in exchange from abroad during the current year have been 
fewer than usual.

III. MEMBERSHIP 


GEORGE H. SHERWOOD, Assistant Secretary 


The Museum regards its membership as among its most 
important influences, not merely because of the considerable 
income which membership fees provide, but because through 
the personal interest of Members the Museum is given greater 
publicity, and its sphere of usefulness is extended. The 
emphasis that is placed on the financial needs of the Museum 
is apt to divert attention from the importance of the service 
thus rendered by Members. The Museum is an institution 
which belongs to the people, and through membership an 
opportunity is afforded for many to take a practical part in its 
development. Let no one think that, because he cannot 
contribute more than the $1ro for an annual membership fee, 
his support is not welcome. An Annual Member may render 
inestimable service in securing other friends for the institution. 


The Museum is able to extend certain privileges to Mem- 
bers which cannot be granted to those who are not Members. 
Members enjoy the use of the Members’ 
Room, which has been expressly fitted for 
their convenience; Members receive gratis the American 
Museum Journal, a publication of much general interest 
regarding the activities of the Museum, and including special 
articles concerning new or important collections or expedi- 
tions; Members receive tickets for lectures given at the 
Museum, and copies of the current Guide Leaflets on request. 
They also may have the services of an instructor to point out 
and explain important exhibits. 

First announcement of all important scientific exploration 
is always made to our Members. The lectures for Members, 
given annually, this year comprised four lectures in the spring 
course and four in the autumn course. One of these lectures 
was to have been given by Mr. Donald B. MacMillan, the 
leader of the Crocker Land Expedition, but the unexpected 
delay in the return of the party made it necessary to postpone 
this lecture. In its place Members had an opportunity to 


Members’ Lectures 


g2 Report of the President 


see Sir Douglas Mawson’s Motion Pictures of the Australasian- 
Antarctic Expedition. 


The fifth and sixth series of Science Stories for the Chil- 
dren of Members were given during the year, the spring course 
Chi ,. of four lectures including a lecture by Rear Admiral 

ildren’s ‘ 
Teche: Peary on ‘‘ Children of the Ice and Snow,” and the 
four in the autumn including one by Mr. James 
Barnes on ‘‘African Animals in Their Home.’’ These lectures 
are designed to interest children, and they have been largely 
attended. 


Besides the above regular lectures, Members were given 
an opportunity to hear one by Dr. Joseph Kossuth Dixon on 
‘* Life Among the American Indians,” in codperation with the 
American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society. There 
were given at the Museum, in codéperation with Columbia 
University, the biennial ‘‘ Jesup Lectures,” this year by Dr. 
Charles P. Berkey, the general subject being ‘‘ Origin and 
Meaning of Some Fundamental Earth Structures.’’ A course 
of four lectures on Aboriginal Art of North American Indians 
was given by members of the anthropological staff. 


Including the lectures for pupils of the public schools, the 
membership fee of $1o has entitled Members to hear more 
than seventy-five lectures. In addition to these may be men- 
tioned the papers presented before various scientific societies 
meeting at the Museum of which Members are notified if desired. 


The actual number of new Members enrolled during 1915 
was 281; the loss through death and resignation 
was 318, showing a loss of 37. On December 
31, 1915, the total membership was 3,632, divided 
into classes as follows:

IV. FINANCES, MAINTENANCE, ENDOWMENT 


CHARLES LANIER, Treasurer 


The method of recording the financial transactions of the 
Museum has not differed from that of previous years. The 
actual bookkeeping and other clerical details pertaining to 
the accounts have been done at the Museum under the direc- 
tion of the Bursar, Mr. Frederick H. Smyth. The moneys 
of all accounts, except the Endowment and Investment 
Account, have been deposited with the United States Trust 
Company of New York as Assistant Treasurer, which has also 
made the usual monthly audit of all the books of the Bursar’s 
office. The customary semi-annual audits of all the Treasurer’s 
books have been made by the Audit Company of New York 
under the direction of the Auditing Committee. The full 
details of the financial transactions will be found on pages 99 
to 117 of the President’s Annual Report. 


Under the present system of bookkeeping, all the expendi- 
tures in the various accounts are segregated under the several 
departments, irrespective of the purpose of the 
expenditure. Formerly, if the total expendi- 
ture for any particular purpose, such as expe- 
ditions, publication or preparation of specimens, was desired, 
it was necessary to pick out the items from the departmental 
expenditures. Such data are very essential for the prepara- 
tion of clear reports for the Trustees and for the preparation 
of the budget. To have such information readily accessible, 
the Bursar has devised a loose-leaf ledger which is kept as a 
supplement to the regular books of the Treasurer. In this 
ledger all expenditures are segregated by subject and under 
each subject apportioned to the respective accounts. 


Classification 
of Expenditures 


The Bursar has also made a careful study of all the securi- 
ties of the Permanent Endowment, and 
we now have available a complete history 
of the endowment, including the original 
source of the securities, the original bequest or gift value, and 
the present market value. 


Analysis of Permanent 
Endowment Fund 


96 Report of the President 


The Trustees’ Permanent Endowment consists of the Gen- 
eral Endowment Fund, the income of which is unrestricted, 
and three restricted funds: the Morris K. 
Jesup Fund, the Matilda W. Bruce Fund 
and the Jonathan Thorne Memorial Fund, 
the income from which can be used only for certain stated 
purposes. 


Trustees’ Permanent 
Endowment Account 


The capital of the General Endowment Fund is $1, 206,- 
627.10, and from its income must be met the cost of general 
administration. 


The present capital of the Morris K. Jesup Fund is 
$3,962,523.80, and the income must be applied to the scien- 
tific administration of the Museum and not to maintenance. 
Ultimately the capital of the Morris K. Jesup Fund will be 
more than $6,000,000, and will provide for the scientific devel- 
opment of the Museum. The Matilda W. Bruce Fund of 
$11,000 is a special endowment for the Department of Min- 
eralogy. Its income can be applied only to enriching the 
mineral collections. The Jonathan Thorne Memorial Fund, 
the bequest of Phebe Anna Thorne, is a special endowment to 
provide for the education of the blind. 


The sum actually appropriated by the City for maintenance 
in 1915 was $200,000, and this sum has been disbursed in the 
City Maintenance Account. The operating 
expenses of the Museum have been consider- 
ably greater than this amount, and mainte- 
nance charges of $57,000 have been paid by the Trustees 
out of the general income. 


City Maintenance 
Account 


The receipts in the General Account are considerably 
greater than ever before. This is 
due largely to the added income from 
the Morris K. Jesup Fund. The important items of income are:

The Special Funds Account, which is composed of the 
funds given for specified purposes, is indicative of the interest 
of Trustees and other friends in particular 
departments or collections. Some of the 
most important additions to the Museum 
collections have been made possible through these special 
gifts. The net receipts in this account have been $24, 464.20. 


Trustees’ Special 
Funds Account 


The money provided for the Crocker Land Expedition has 
been in the custody of the Treasurer of the Museum, acting 
ex-officio as disbursing agent for the Crocker 
Land Committee. Inasmuch as the moneys 
contributed for this purpose were not direct 
contributions to the Museum, they have been 
recorded in a separate account, designated as the Crocker 
Land Expedition Fund Account. While a number of new 
contributions have been made to the Crocker Land Expedition 
Fund, there is still a considerable sum to be raised, including 
$9,500 which has been borrowed from the Museum General 
Account to temporarily finance the expedition.

* The annual appropriation of the City can be used only for the maintenance of the 
Museum and is inadequate for this purpose. It cannot be used for the purchase of speci- 
mens or for the expenses of exploring and collecting expeditions. The deficiency in main- 
tenance for 1915, amounting to $57,000, has been met from the Trustees’ General Account.

FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT 


To the Trustees and Members of The American Museum of 
Natural History, and to the Municipal Authorities of the 
City of New York: 


The President has the honor to submit herewith his. tenth 
annual report of the development of the American Museum 
—the forty-eighth year of the history of the institution. On 
April 6, 1919, the Museum will celebrate the fiftieth anniver- 
sary of its foundation, and it is hoped that this celebration 
may be marked by the opening of the two new buildings—the 
Southeast Wing and the Court of Ocean Life—which the Mu- 
seum so urgently needs for the reception and exhibition of its 
overflowing collections. | 


Next to building in importance is the increase of our Gen- 
eral Endowment Fund. ‘Like all other growing institutions in 
this country, our needs for general purposes have 
Need of far outstripped the income derived from our Gen- 
General : . 
Endowment ¢ral Endowment, which ‘amounts at the present 
} time to $57,211. For several years it has been 
necessary for the Trustees and Members of the Museum to 
add amounts varying from $60,000 to $100,000 to operate 
the institution and to make up the deficiency in the mainte- 
nance allowance of the City. This is a generous method, but 
not a financially sound one, and the gift to the General En- 
dowment of $2,000,000 is greatly needed to insure permanently 
the development of the Museum before entering the second 
half century of its existence. . 

The need of immediately increasing the General Endow- 
ment is still further emphasized by the results! of a ‘careful 
study of the salaries of the Museum, which 'was’made during 
the preparation of the budget for 1917. The'statistics showed 


17 


18 Report of the President 


that the schedule of salaries for the members of the scientific 
and administrative staffs is much below the standards recog- 
nized elsewhere in the city, and if the American Museum is 
to retain highly efficient men on its staff, it must pay salaries 
commensurate with those that similar services command out- 
side. Relief in this situation can be obtained only through 
a larger General Endowment. 


During the year a number of important bequests and gifts 
have been announced, which when received will be applied to 
the General Endowment. 

Under the will of Amos F. Eno, an Annual Member for 
twenty-four years and a Life Member for ten years, the 
Museum was designated as a beneficiary to the ex- 
tent of $250,000. This will was contested by certain 
of the heirs and was set aside by jury trial. The case is now 
pending before the Court of Appeals. 

Under the will of James Gaunt, the Museum is to be a bene- 
ficiary of one half of his residuary estate after the death of 
his brother Dr. Thomas T. Gaunt. It is estimated that under 
this legacy the Museum may receive $100,000. 

Although the will of Charles E. Rhinelander is being con- 
tested, there is a possibility that the Museum will receive a 
bequest of $8,000 and may later be a further beneficiary to the 
extent of $12,000 from a trust fund. 

The Museum has received $10,000 as payment in full of the 
bequest of Emil C. Bondy. This sum has been added to the 
General Endowment Fund. 

Under the will of Helen C. Juilliard, the Museum is to re- 
ceive the sum of $50,000, which will be applied to the Building 
Fund of the Museum. 


Bequests 


If the Trustees and Members will observe the wonderful 
stimulus which has been given to the scientific and educa- 
tional development of the Museum through the 
new resources coming from the Jesup Endow- 
ment Fund, they will feel more strongly than ever the urgency 
of the movement towards increased building space and in- 
creased General Endowment. The annual income from this 


Jesup Fund 


Report of the President 19 


fund is $252,500, all of which, according to Mr. Jesup’s wise 
intention, must be devoted to exploration, research, scientific 
discovery and publication, as well as to scientific exhibition. 


Among the pleasant surprises of the year was a gift of $10,- 
ooo from Mrs. Russell Sage, which has been added to the 
Special Endowment as the Margaret Olivia Sage 

Gift of Mrs. Fund. In view of the interest of Mrs. Sage in 
Russell Sage _ . : : f - 
birds and their conservation, the income of this 

fund is set aside for the enrichment of the collection of birds. 


The Trustees have positively decided that the Museum 
building must be enlarged. At the May meeting of the Board, 
the question was raised whether, in view of 
Need of Southeast the restricted financial condition of the City, 
Wing and Court : : 
eerGeesn Vite it would be expedient to attempt to enlarge 
the Museum through personal donations. 
On July 18, a conference was held between the President, 
Mayor Mitchel and Comptroller Prendergast, in which the 
Comptroller expressed the opinion that it would be impossible 
to make any appropriations of any kind for building during 
the remainder of the year 1916, and both officers expressed the 
opinion that the City would not regard the donation of a build- 
ing as prejudicing or hindering municipal appropriations in 
the future. In order to make this agreement a matter of legal 
record, at Mayor Mitchel’s suggestion the following resolution 
was adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment on 


July 27: 


Whereas, The Trustees and friends of the American 
Museum of Natural History, through very large dona- 
tions, have greatly increased the collections and have 
strengthened the relations between the Museum and the 
public schools, the members of the Board of Estimate and 
Apportionment desire to make public acknowledgment of 
the service which the Museum has rendered and is render- 
ing to the City; and 

Whereas, Ten years have elapsed since the City has 
added to the building of the American Museum of Natu- 


20 Report of the President 


ral History, and the members of the Board of Estimate 
and Apportionment appreciate the urgent necessity of en- 
largement of the building, they realize that it is imprac- 
ticable for the City to make any appropriation this year 
for the Museum because of the very heavy obligations to 
which the City is committed for other important purposes. 

The members of this Board, however, are fully alive to 
the binding nature of the agreement between the Museum 
and the City, namely, that the City shall continue to add 
building space as the collections and exhibitions increase, 
according to the Contract of 1878, and trust that the op- 
portunity may soon come when building by the City may 
be renewed. In view of this emergency, the Board desires 
to make record that if private funds are contributed for 
the erection of the building the acceptance of such dona- 
tion shall not be regarded as a precedent to relieve the 
City of its obligation to continue the extension of the 
building in the future. 


This action of the Board of Estimate removed the serious 
objection to the raising of a building fund by subscription. 
The first contribution to the Museum building fund was a 
check for $100,000 from Dr. James Douglas, which was fol- 
lowed by other generous subscriptions from members of the 
Board of Trustees, amounting, at the time of the Annual 
Meeting of 1917, to $617,000. 

To build and equip the Southeast Wing and Court of 
Ocean Life at the present time, the sum of $1,000,000 is re- 
quired ; consequently there is still an amount of $400,000 to be 
contributed. Full acknowledgment of the individual dona- 
tions will be made when the subscription is complete. 


The Court of Ocean Life is being designed as the most com- 

plete and beautiful museum unit in the world. 

Contents of It is planned for exhibitions covering the entire 
the Proposed : : ‘ . 

New Buildings life and environment, geographic and physio- 

graphic, of the sea, on the lines of the famous 

Oceanographic Museum at Monaco and the Fisheries Mu- 


seum at Berlin. Besides the small forms and phenomena of 


Report of the President 21 


ocean life, it is planned to exhibit the George S. Bowdoin 
collection of whales and other cetaceans, including the twenty- 
seven models and eight skeletons of whales now on exhibition 
and the much larger number of models and material now in 
storage, assembled from the expeditions extending from Long 
Island Sound to Quebec, British Columbia, Alaska, Japan and 
Korea, made by Mr. Roy C. Andrews between the years 1907 
and 1914, as well as other great collections from the Arctic 
and Antarctic Seas. 

The first floor of the Southeast Wing will be occupied by 
the great Hall of Fishes, for the arrangement of which special 
designs are being prepared by Curator Bashford Dean and 
Director Frederic A. Lucas. Above this will be the Asiatic 
Hall, for which the Museum has assembled great collections 
and for which it now has a special expedition in the field in 
southern China and Tibet, under the direction of Mr. Roy C. 
Andrews. The third floor will be devoted to the Reptiles of 
the World. The fourth floor will be a Hall of Dinosaurs, 
including the great collections which have been made since 
explorations were begun in 1907 in the Rocky Mountains. The 
upper floors will be devoted to curators’ offices, laboratories 
and storage space. These plans, as presented by Trowbridge 
and Livingston, architects, are fully set forth in the Fourth 
Edition of the Museum’s folder, “Growth of the Building,” 
published December 1, 1916. 


The movement for the relief of the Museum in this crisis 

of its development, by the donation of buildings, has received 

very strong public and editorial! support, especially 

ec in the Times, Sun, Tribune, World, American, 

Herald and Evening Post. The Special Committee 

of the Trustees, which has the matter in charge, includes 

Messrs. Cleveland H. Dodge, J. P. Morgan, A. D. Juilliard, 
Felix M. Warburg, and Henry Fairfield Osborn ex officio. 


22 Report of the President 


COOPERATION WITH OTHER NATIONAL 
INSTITUTIONS IN THE DIFFUSION 
OF SCIENCE 


Since 1896, when Professor Franz Boas was simultaneously 
appointed to Columbia University and to the scientific staff of 
the American Museum, this institution has been codperating 
with Columbia in anthropology, as a result of which Columbia 
has taken a leading place in the training of anthropologists in 
this country. Similar important results have been obtained 
through codperation in vertebrate paleontology and zodlogy. 

On another side, the Museum is now offering to codperate 
with other great scientific institutions in the United States for 
the wider diffusion of science among the people. 

There has probably never been a time in the history of our 
republic when the wide diffusion of a knowledge of the laws of 
nature among the people was more important and pressing than 
at present. To the pure science of zodlogy, geology and an- 
thropology of its early days, the Museum is now adding many 
of the applications of science to public welfare in chemistry, 
mining, public health, eugenics and food supply, to meet the 
constantly increasing demand for knowledge on these subjects. 
To the dissemination of the ideas and great scientific discov- 
eries of Linneus, Darwin, Louis Agassiz, Leidy, Cope and 
Marsh, we are adding the practical influence of the discoveries 
of Pasteur and Ross in disease, of Sargent in forestry, of Gal- 
ton and Mendel in heredity. In the Darwin Hall a child can 
learn the principles of racial improvement and eugenics, in a 
simple and beautiful manner. 


The codperation of the Museum has recently been tendered 
to the Trustees of the Carnegie Corporation* in the form of a 
proposed arrangement whereby the Museum may translate to 


* The charter object of this corporation is “to promote the advancement and 
diffusion of knowledge and understanding among the people of the United States, 
by aiding technical schools, institutions of higher learning, libraries, scientific re- 
search, hero funds, useful publications, and by such other agencies and means as 
shall from time to time be found appropriate therefor.” By Act of the Legislature 
on June 9, ror. 


Report of the President 23 


the people the latest results of scientific research and discovery 
which are flowing from the men of genius enlisted in the va- 
rious affiliated departments of the Carnegie Institution. Dur- 
ing the year 1916, the Carnegie Institution expended the 
unprecedented sum of $750,710 in pure research in astronomy, 
pure and applied chemistry, physics, geophysics, terrestrial 
magnetism, biology, zodlogy, paleontology and experimental 
evolution. 


It has been suggested to the Trustees of the Carnegie Cor- 
poration that they should take into consideration the means 
which the American Museum now affords, and 
asso which may develop through further building and 
orporation 2 3 = ‘ 
equipment, for the wide diffusion among the peo- 
ple, and especially among the pupils and students of our educa- 
tional institutions, of the results of the most recent scientific 
discoveries. For example, in the COURT OF OCEAN LIFE, 
in the adjoining Hall of Fishes and in the Hall of Biology 
(Darwin Hall), the discoveries which are being made in va- 
rious parts of the world by the Carnegie Institution in these 
subjects could be translated into visual or graphic form and 
made to exert an influence, as is done by the remarkable 
Oceanographic Museum at Monaco and the Institut fiir Mee- 
reskunde at Berlin. Similarly in the proposed ROTUNDA 
OF ASTRONOMY, which forms the central feature of the 
Museum’s new plan of building, approved by the Trustees in 
1911, the most recent discoveries from the great astronomic 
observatories of America, especially the work of Hale at 
Mount Wilson, of Campbell at Mount Hamilton, of Pickering 
at Harvard, of Lowell at Flagstaff and of other American 
observers, could be presented visually. 

To present the subject of astronomy properly, the central 
rotunda would cost about $500,000, representing an annual in- 
terest and maintenance charge of approximately $30,000. By 
this annual expenditure, the results of researches, which cost 
the Carnegie Institution alone more than $219,000 annually, 
could in considerable measure be brought to the pupils of the 
schools, to the students of the universities and to the general 
public. 


24 Report of the President 


The Trustees of the Museum may also invite the codperation 
of the Rockefeller Foundation in support of its purely educa- 
tional: propaganda in the Department of Public 
Rorkefetler Health for a knowledge of the natural causes of 
health and disease. There is a widespread impres- 
sion, which rests upon no adequate evidence, that the Ameri- 
can people are relatively well informed in matters of science. 
As a matter of fact, inquiry would show that we are far behind 
the people of Scandinavia, of Denmark, of Holland and espe- 
cially of Germany in all these subjects. In our judgment, the 
Museum on the Jesup foundation should prepare itself to 
coéperate so far as possible with the great institutions which 
have been founded for public enlightenment by men like An- 
drew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller in the more rapid 
diffusion of science, each institution taking the particular share 
which it is best fitted to undertake. The Carnegie Institution 
is preéminently devoted to pure research; the Rockefeller 
Foundation is at present devoted largely to the practical appli- 
cation of medical discovery, while the American Museum is 
devoted primarily to visual education in all departments of 
natural science, including the subjects which have more re- 
cently come within its domain. 

As regards, what is now being accomplished in the diffusion 
of knowledge, the statistics of the Department of Public 
Education, showing the number of institutions of different 
grades now reached by our plan of codperation, are very im- 
pressive:

The various means by which this diffusion is carried on, by 
class work in the Museum, by laboratory work in the schools 
furnished with Museum material, by lectures 
Present System in the Museum and in local lecture centers, by 
of Diffusion : : 
advanced observation courses in the Museum 
exhibition halls, and by the free use of our collection of 20,000 
lantern slides, are clearly set forth in the report of the Depart- 
ment of Public Education. Through the nature study collec- 
tions, 1,118,000 school children have been reached; nearly 
40,000 lantern slides have been in circulation in the schools, 
and more than 80,000 pupils have attended our lectures within 
and without the Museum. Through this extension work the 
scientific results of expeditions and researches are promptly 
translated to the schools. Presented in another way, there has 
been a very marked increase in the practical use of the Mu- 
seum by visiting classes in both science and art and for pur- 
poses of technical design. The very slight falling off in total 
attendance in connection with our educational system is due to 
the epidemic among the children and also to the withdrawal 
of nature study courses in certain of the schools.

EXPANSION OF EXPLORATION AND RESEARCH 


The reception of the larger part of the income from the 
Jesup Endowment Fund of $6,000,000, namely, of $202,050 
during the past year, has been followed, as Mr. Jesup intended 
it should be, by a very marked expansion of our exploration in 
the Arctic region, in North America, in South America and in 
Asia. For the time, exploration in Africa has given way to the 
arrangement of our great collections. The following analysis 
of the total expenditures in the various branches of natural 
science will show the world-wide extent of the Museum’s ac-

Report of the President 27 


In view of the generous contributions by the Trustees, Mem- 

bers and the Jesup Fund to the Congo Expedition during the 

years 1909-1915, and of the ardent field 

Snes the ~~ work by Messrs. Herbert Lang and James 

P. Chapin, it is a pleasure to report that the 

results of this expedition far exceed our most sanguine expec- 

tations in every branch of natural history as well as in an- 
thropology. The statistics of the collection are as follows:

These collections have been distributed to specialists in va- 
rious parts of the United States and in Great Britain for sci- 
entific description. In the Museum, the principal studies are 
under the direction of Curator Allen, and the specimens are 
being worked up by the two leaders of the expedition, Messrs. 
Herbert Lang and James P. Chapin, by Dr. Joseph Bequaert 
and by Mr. John T. Nichols. 

The insects and the birds are in especially perfect condition. 
The collection of mammal skins was greatly enriched by gifts 
from the officials in the Belgian Congo, all of whom aided the 
expedition in the most cordial way. The entire collection of 
skins has been permanently prepared, and some of the choicest 
specimens, such as the white rhinoceroses and the okapi, are 
being superbly mounted in the atelier of Mr. Carl E. Akeley, 
with the codperation of Mr. James L. Clark. 

The most important publication in progress is a two-volume 
narrative of the Congo Expedition, to be written by Messrs. 
Lang and Chapin in conjunction with various specialists. All 
together the Congo Expedition promises to be the most im- 
portant single undertaking in the history of the Museum. 


28 Report of the President 


The attention of the Trustees and Members is directed espe- 
cially to the report of the Curator of Anthropology (page 84). 
During the past ten years the Museum 
Discovery and Research has expended on the subject of anthro- 
in Anthropology x 
pology alone nearly $500,000, derived 
partly from the Jesup Fund and partly from generous con- 
tributions from Mr. Archer M. Huntington and others. Dur- 
ing this time more than 300,000 specimens have been added, 
of a value estimated to be considerably beyond the actual cost 
of collection. 

As planned by Curator Wissler, who in 1907 succeeded the 
anthropologists Professor Franz Boas and Professor Frederic 
W. Putnam as Curator, the anthropological work of the Mu- 
seum is pursuing definite lines of research in all parts of North 
America, with two objects in view: 


First, to secure a knowledge of the language, customs, re- 
ligion and mythology of the primitive peoples of America be- 
fore the last traditions of their original life have been entirely 
eliminated by the advancing system of American education. 
This great undertaking, which supplements the work of the 
Bureau of Ethnology, has been carried on through the able 
field work of Curators Clark Wissler, Pliny E. Goddard and 
Robert H. Lowie. 


The second, historic and prehistoric, division of work ex- 
tends principally into the Southwest, Mexico, Central and 
South America, and is designed to establish the chronology 
and date the monuments of this great region through the very 
careful study of economic and architectural cultures. To this 
division have been especially assigned Dr. Herbert J. Spinden 
for Mexico and Central and South America, and Mr. N. C. 
Nelson and Mr. Leslie Spier for the pueblos and cliff dwell- 
ings of the southwestern United States. This work is sup- 
ported chiefly through the Huntington Fund, known as the 
Anthropology of the Southwest Fund. It is most gratifying 
to report that at last a secure basis for chronology has been 
established, through the exact exploration of ancient sites of 
the kind which has so long been practised by the archzological 
investigators in France. This is chiefly the work of Mr. N. C. 


Report of the President 29 


Nelson, who spent some time in France acquiring the latest 
European methods. 

In our Museum halls may be found the visible results of this 
archeological exploration. First, there is a renewed examina- 
tion of the Pueblo Bonito of northern New Mexico, which was 
explored chiefly through the generosity of Messrs. F. E. and 
B. T. B. Hyde during the years 1895 to 1903. Second, there 
is the revelation of the still more important ancient pueblo site 
near the town of Aztec, New Mexico; the first year’s excava- 
tion at Aztec shows that this promises to be one of the most 
important, if not the most important, ancient site which has 
been discovered in the Southwest. 

It is expected that as a result of these prolonged intensive 
studies the chronology of the entire southwestern United 
States will be connected with that of Mexico and Central 
America, which has been firmly established by the researches 
of Dr. Herbert J. Spinden of our staff. 

The anthropological exhibitions have been made far more 
attractive to the people through the rearrangement of the ex- 
hibition halls, and through the interpretation of the ancient 
life of the peoples by the admirable mural paintings of Mr. W. 
S. Taylor and by the group work of Messrs. Howard McCor- 
mick and Mahonri M. Young. 


The Museum has continued its three great lines of explora- 
tion in South America: 

ue First, the Roosevelt Expedition has con- 

Zodlogical : : : 
Exploration in tinued its exploration, under Mr. George K. 
Central and Cherrie, in the pantanales of upper Paraguay 
South America 24d Brazil. Mr. Cherrie devoted the greater 
part of his time to securing notes on the life histories of birds 
and mammals, rather than to making large collections of speci- 
mens. 

Second, the survey of the Andean region, under the direc- 
tion of Dr. Frank M. Chapman, begun in Colombia six years 
ago, has been continued by Messrs. Leo E. Miller and Howarth 
S. Boyle, who made an extended tour through Colombia, Bo- 
livia, Peru, Argentina and Brazil. Dr. Chapman visited Ecua- 
dor, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil in the spring 


30 Report of the President 


of 1916, making a general reconnaissance. The bird col- 
lections are the first ever made in these zodlogical regions 
in which complete data concerning the environment and life 
habits have been secured, and the scientific results of the work 
accomplished in Colombia are being collected in the first vol- 
ume of Dr. Chapman’s reports, entitled “Distribution of 
Bird Life in Colombia,” constituting Volume XXXVI of the 
Museum Bulletin, 1917. Not the least important feature of 
these expeditions from the Pan-American standpoint is the 
very friendly relations which our representatives, especially 
Dr. Chapman, have established with the officers and scientific 
men of the various South American governments. 

Third, Messrs. Clarence R. Halter and L. A. Mannhardt 
have been engaged in a biological survey of Nicaragua, espe- 
cially for the purpose of making collections of reptiles and 
fishes. 

In the meantime the Brewster-Sanford Expedition, under 
the direction of Mr. Rollo H. Beck, which had for its object 
the collection of all the oceanic birds of South America, has 
completed a tour of the coasts and of the outlying islands, as a 
result of four years’ continuous and indefatigable exploration 
on the part of Mr. Beck. The collection is being made for 
complete scientific description and record. Mr. Beck is now 
working in San Domingo of the Antilles. 


African exploration has been suspended, and the first steps 
toward the collection of material for the Hall of Asiatic Life 
are being taken in the expedition to the mountains 

Sere of eastern and southwestern China, headed by Mr. 
Roy C. Andrews, accompanied by Mrs. Andrews 

and Mr. Edmund Heller, who was formerly attached to the 
Roosevelt African expedition. In spite of the revolution in 
China, the party has met with phenomenal success, having se- 
cured nearly 2,000 birds and mammals, including materials for 
groups of the rare Asiatic members of the chamois family, 
known as the goral and serow. Among the contributors to this 
important expedition are Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Bernheimer, 
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney M. Colgate, Mr. James B. Ford, Mrs, 
Adrian Hoffman Joline, Mr. Henry C. Frick, Mr. Childs

Report of the President ~ 31 


Frick, Mr. George Temple Bowdoin and Mr. Lincoln Ells- 
worth. 


Instituted by the New York Academy of Sciences three years 
ago, under a plan formulated by Dr. Nathaniel L. Britton, 
Director of the New York Botanical Garden, is 
Antillean the biological survey of Porto Rico conducted by 
Exploration See ; 
specialists from the Garden, the American Mu- 
seum and Columbia University, in botany, geology, anthropol- 
ogy and terrestrial and marine zoology. With the aid of the 
Government of Porto Rico, this complete natural history sur- 
vey of one of the most important island possessions of the 
United States promises to be of great civilizing and economic 
as well as scientific value. Under Curator Crampton this sur- 
vey has been extended to the neighboring Antillean islands, 
with a view to throwing light upon the whole Antillean prob- 
lem, namely, of the geologic antiquity of these islands and of 
their former relations with Central and South America. A\l- 
ready important discoveries have been made in vertebrate pa- 
leontology, through work upon the fossils of the Porto Rican 
caves, which have thrown new light on the migrations from 
South America. 


Attention may be directed not only to the general matters 
herein described by the President, but to the full 
Oh a iragaeg and important reports of the Director and of the 
Curators of the various scientific and educational 

departments. 

Although special mention cannot be made this year of each 
of the scientific departments, attention is called to the entire 
rearrangement of the geological hall, under Assistant Curator 
Reeds (page 58); to the completion of the rearrangement of 
the Hall of Shells, under Curator Gratacap (page 66) ; to the 
important work in the Department of Insects, under Associate 
Curator Lutz (page 68) ; to the wide distribution of the bac- 
teriological collections throughout the United States, under 
Curator Winslow (page 91), and finally to the progress of 
research in the Department of Fishes, under Curator Bashford 
Dean (page 70). 


32 Report of the President 


A small but increasing number of specialists are associating 
themselves with the scientific work of the Museum as volun- 
teers, that is, without salary but with the honorary 
eed title of Research Associate awarded by the Trus- 
tees. Among the first to be appointed was Dr. 
George Bird Grinnell, who is an authority on American 
ethnology, especially on the habits and customs of the Black- 
foot Indians. In the anthropological department are also Dr. 
J. Howard McGregor of Columbia University, who has made 
important contributions to the reconstruction of racial types 
of the Paleolithic Age, and Mr. M. D. C. Crawford, an expert 
in textiles, who has rendered distinct service to the Museum by 
his researches on the textiles and designs of Peru and in 
stimulating among the manufacturers the use of prehistoric 
American art in the preparation of designs. This has created 
a new and profitable industry. Another appointment was that 
of Dr. Charles R. Eastman of Harvard University, who is as- 
sociated with Professor W. K. Gregory of Columbia Univer- 
sity, also of our scientific staff, in the preparation of a treatise 
on vertebrate paleontology. The last appointment to this rank 
is that of Mr. Alessandro Fabbri as Research Associate in 
Physiology, who is carrying on experiments in the micro- 
photography of minute forms of organic life, in connection 
with the Department of Physiology, which promise to be of 
great scientific as well as of educational value. Mr. Fabbri 
plans to extend his work to the minute organisms of the sea. 


BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT 


In December, 1915, the Board of Estimate and Apportion- 

ment rescinded the inactive balance of the construction fund 

(CDP 3C) and reappropriated it as a case 

Case Construction construction and equipment fund (CDP 3E). 
and Equipment Z 3 

It was estimated that this sum would be suf- 

ficient to provide for the normal equipment needs for about 

three years. Accordingly the Board of Estimate and Appor- 

tionment was requested to release $35,580.43 of this fund for 

case construction and equipment work for 1916. Through this 


Report of the President 33 


appropriation it has been possible to provide a number of stor- 
age and exhibition cases which were essential not only for the 
preservation of valuable collections but to make them acces- 
sible to the public. A further release of this fund, amounting 
to $32,450.55, has been granted, which will permit the con- 
tinuation of equipment work during 1917. 


It is now almost 40 years since the first section of the Mu- 

seum was erected, while the newest wing is nearly 10 years 

old. It is not surprising, therefore, that the roof, 

Saat steam and water pipes and other parts of the physical 

equipment show marked signs of deterioration and 

must be replaced. As the City’s usual appropriation for main- 

tenance is insufficient for current needs, a special appropriation 

of $25,000 was requested in 1916 to provide for these extraor- 

dinary repairs. The City finally granted an appropriation of 
$15,657 for this purpose. 

The repairs completed during the year, as given in the Di- 
rector’s report, give evidence of the wisdom of this appropria- 
tion. For 1917 the City has provided a special appropriation 
of $12,700 for the continuation of these necessary repairs. 


MEMBERSHIP AND STAFF 


It is with a deep sense of personal loss that we record the 
death of our fellow Trustee, the Honorable Seth Low, which 
occurred on September 17, 1916. Mr. Low had been a member 
of the Board since May 5, 1905, and had rendered many and 
important services to the Museum. The following resolution 
was adopted by the Trustees at a meeting held on November 
20, 1916: 


In the death of Seth Low, the American Museum has 
lost one of the most distinguished of the many public 
spirited and large minded citizens who have served the 
interests of the institution during the past half century. 
Mr. Low’s name followed that of Abram S. Hewitt as a 
former Mayor of the City who gave of his valuable time 
and experience to the upbuilding of our great institution. 

As President of Columbia University in 1901, he was 


34 Report of the President 


the first great educator to recognize that the University 
should not duplicate the work of the Museum, but should 
send its students here for their advanced practical studies 
and researches. This union has led to the training of 
-many men who are fast becoming eminent in several fields 
of natural history. 

He first served the Museum on the East Asiatic Com- 
mittee, with Messrs. Hill, Harriman, Dodge and Schiff. 
Elected a Trustee May 5, 1905, he served on the Nomi- 
nating Committee, the Jesup Memorial Committee, the 
Executive Committee, the Committee on the Museum for 
the Blind, the Committee on Investigation of Museum 
Administration, and the Auditing Committee. To each 
he gave of his valuable time and rare judgment in public 
affairs. 

During the eleven years of his life as Trustee, he never 
hesitated when opportunity offered to show his intense in- 
terest in the public welfare and his faith in the great pub- 
lic educational work which the Museum is undertaking. 

We shall miss his genial presence at our councils, and 
gather new spirit and strength from his splendid example 
as an American citizen. 


At the Annual Meeting in February, Mr. Henry P. Davison 
was elected a member of the Board to fill the vacancy due to 
the death of Dr. Daniel Giraud Elliot. Owing to ill health, 
Mr. Charles Lanier tendered his resignation as Treasurer, 
after a continuous service of twenty-five years. Mr. Henry P. 
Davison was elected to succeed him. Later in the year, Mr. 
J. P. Morgan resigned from the Finance Committee, and Mr. 
Davison was elected Chairman of the Finance Committee. 

On February 8, Dr. J. Howard McGregor was appointed 
Research Associate in Physical Anthropology. 

On June 1, Dr. T. G. Hull was appointed Assistant in the 
Department of Public Health. 

On June 1, Mr. Louis R. Sullivan was appointed Assistant 
in Physical Anthropology. 

On June 1, Mr. Leslie Spier was appointed Assistant in the 
Department of Anthropology. 


Report of the President 35 


Mr. Alanson B. Skinner resigned as Assistant Curator in 
the Department of Anthropology in January. 

Mr. Daniel M. Fisk resigned as Assistant in the Department 
of Invertebrate Zodlogy in August. 

Dr. Israel J. Kligler resigned as Assistant in the Department 
of Public Health in October. 

Dr. Louis Hussakof resigned as Curator of Ichthyology 
in December. 


PUBLIC ACTIVITIES OF THE STAFF 


In April, Professor Osborn delivered two lectures before the 
National Academy of Sciences in Washington on “The Origin 
and Evolution of Life on the Earth.” This was the fourth 
course of the Hale lectures, the foundation of which was a gift 
to the National Academy by the children of William Ellery 
Hale in memory of their father. 

Director Lucas addressed the Chicago Academy of Sciences 
on “Service of the Museum to the Public.” 

Dr. William K. Gregory has been promoted by the Trus- 
tees of Columbia to the rank of Assistant Professor of Verte- 
brate Paleontology and has been assigned a seat in the Faculty 
of Pure Science. 

Mr. R. W. Miner and Dr. G. Clyde Fisher represented the 
Museum at the Washington Meeting of the American Associa- 
tion of Museums. 

Dr. H. E. Crampton represented the Museum at the Me- 
morial Meeting to John W. Alexander, which was held in the 
Vanderbilt Gallery of the Fine Arts Building on May 28. 

At the meetings of the Science Teachers Association, held at 
Syracuse in December, Miss Ann E. Thomas represented the 
Museum and read a paper on “The Museum as an Aid in the 
Teaching of Science.” 


36 Report of the President 


WELFARE OF EMPLOYEES 


The comprehensive Pension Plan which was put in opera- 
tion four years ago is working successfully. This plan is based 
on a 3% contribution by the employees and a 3% contribution 
by the Trustees, and its administration is vested in a Pension 
Board composed of four Trustees and three employees. There 
are now 241 employees who participate in this fund, and one 
employee is receiving a pension. The endowment is $60,000. 

The interests of the employees have been still further 
guarded by the requirement of a physical examination of em- 
ployees before they are accepted by the Pension Board. The 
cost of this physical examination is borne by the Museum. 

The Fourth Annual Report of the Pension Board will be 
found on pages 215 to 235 inclusive. 

In view of the increased demands upon the various officers 
and employees of the Museum and the increased cost of living, 
the Trustees voted a special grant to all the officers and em- 
ployees, equivalent to 10% of the salaries paid during the year 
1916. This included a total of 312 employees, and the total 
sum distributed was $32,316.15, of which $23,500 was raised 
by subscriptions of Trustees and $8,816.15 was borne by the 
Jesup Fund. 


HOSPITALITY TO SOCIETIES 


As for many years past, the Museum has extended hospital- 
ity to educational and scientific societies, providing rooms for 
meetings and lectures. The regular meetings of the New 
York Academy of Sciences were held here, also the annual 
meeting of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation 
Society ; delegates to the second Pan-American Scientific Con- 
gress were tendered a reception on January 13; the Junior 
Auxiliary of the New York Zodlogical Society held a meeting 
on March 30, at which Mr. Raymond L. Ditmars presented a 
lecture and motion pictures; members of the Science Depart- 
ment of the National Education Association were given a 
luncheon on Friday afternoon, July 7, and were presented 
with copies of the “Teachers’ Handbook to the Exhibitions and 


Report of the President 37 


Collections in The American Museum of Natural History: 
Part I, The North American Indian Collections, Their Use in 
Elementary English, History and Geography and in High 
School History and Economics.” 

The most important event of the year was the entertainment 
of the members of the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science and Affiliated Societies from December 26 to 
30. President Osborn, as Chairman of the Local Committee, 
appointed the following as members of the Honorary Reception 
Committee of the City of New York, in connection with the 
meetings: His Honor John Purroy Mitchel, Elmer Ellsworth 
Brown, Nicholas Murray Butler, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph H. 
Choate, R. Fulton Cutting, Cleveland H. Dodge, Henry C-. 
Frick, James B. Ford, A. Barton Hepburn, George G. Heye, 
Archer M. Huntington, Walter B. James, V. Everit Macy, 
Emerson McMillin, Sidney Edward Mezes, Mrs. Henry Fair- 
field Osborn, M. I. Pupin, Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Willard 
D. Straight, Mrs. Frederick Ferris Thompson, Frederic C. 
Walcott and Henry Fairfield Osborn. A general reception 
was given on Tuesday evening, December 26, and copies of the 
“Guide to the Nature Treasures of New York City” were 
given to the guests. At the meetings many important scientific 
papers were presented. A special exhibition of “Chemical Pre- 
paredness” was arranged on the fourth floor by the New York 
Sections of the American Chemical Society, the American 
Electrochemical Society and the Society of Chemical Industry 
and by the Museums of the Peaceful Arts. A special exhibit 
illustrating the life and work of Louis Pasteur was also ar- 
ranged for the meetings. 


Several special exhibitions have been held in the West As- 
sembly Hall during the year: Paintings of arctic and antarctic 
scenes by F. W. Stokes; water colors of birds by H. 

Loar C. Denslow ; paintings of Alaskan scenery by Rob- 

1tions Ay:

GIFTS AND SPECIAL COURTESIES 


The progress of the Museum in various parts of the world is 
due largely to the numberless courtesies received through the 
State Department at Washington, through officers of the va- 
rious South American governments and of the British de- 
pendencies, and through facilities rendered by various trans- 
portation companies. These have been so numerous and of 
such a generous character that it is difficult to make acknow- 
ledgment in detail. 

We are grateful to the many friends who have enriched the 
Museum’s collections by gifts during the past year, and formal 
acknowledgment is made in the List of Accessions appended 
to this report. 

The cost of transportation is a very important item in any 
expedition, and the exploratory work of the Museum has been 
especially facilitated by the practical assistance rendered by the 
following transportation companies and individuals: 

The United Fruit Company, through Mr. Minor C. Keith, 
granted to four of our expeditions special privileges and re- 
duced transportation rates to South and Central America and 
the West Indies. 

The Guayaquil and Quito Railway Company, through its 
President, Mr. E. H. Norton, and its General Manager, Mr. F. 
R. Blunt, provided special transportation facilities for Dr. 
Chapman and the members of his party during exploration in 
Ecuador. 

The Museum is indebted to the Panama Agent of the United 
Fruit Company for facilitating the shipment of the Colombian 
collections of Messrs. Miller and Boyle to New York. 

The Ferro-Carril Boliviano, through its General Manager, 
Mr. R. L. Blaisdell, was especially helpful, not only in provid- 
ing free transportation of equipment for Messrs. Miller and 
Boyle, but also in furnishing living quarters, guides and helpers 
for their field work. Later free transportation was granted 
for Mr. Cherrie and his equipment. 

The Panama Rail Road Company, through Mr. C. H. Mot- 
sett, provided free transportation for the equipment used in the 
Bolivian Expedition of Messrs. Miller and Boyle. 


40 Report of the President 


Messrs. Barber and Company transported free of charge the 
equipment for the Roosevelt expeditions of Messrs. Cherrie 
and Miller from New York to Buenos Aires and made no 
charge for bringing the collections from Buenos Aires to New 
York. 

We take pleasure in acknowledging the courtesies extended 
to Mr. Cherrie, while collecting in Puerto Pinasco and vicinity, 
Paraguay, by the New York and Paraguay Company, through 
Mr. W. A. Wheeler, General Manager, and his associate, Mr. 
Frank Burr. 

Mr. Cherrie’s work was further facilitated by the generosity 
of the Brazil Land, Cattle and Packing Company, at Descal- 
vados, through Mr. J. G. Ramsay, the Superintendent of the 
Company, who placed horses, guides and helpers at Mr. 
Cherrie’s disposal. 

We desire to make acknowledgment to Mr. H. V. Meyer- 
heim, American Consul at Medellin, Colombia, who extended 
special courtesies to Mr. Miller. 

We wish to acknowledge the courtesy extended to Dr. Spin- 
den by the American Molasses Company in providing free 
transportation for archeological collections from Porto Rico 
to New York. 

The Erie Railroad Company has been very helpful in tracing 
lost shipments. 

The Trinidad Shipping and Trading Company transported 
free of charge preparation material for the work of Mr. C. 
William Beebe and of Dr. J. A. Samuels in British Guiana. 

In connection with the expedition to Nicaragua, under 
Messrs. Halter and Mannhardt, the Bluefields Fruit and 
Steamship Company gave reduced rates from New Orleans to 
Bluefields, and the Fruit Dispatch Company, through Mr. 
Charles Weinberger, gave very material assistance. 

Mr. Harry R. Caldwell and Professor C. R. Kellogg, resi- 
dents of China, materially assisted Mr. Andrews in the work 
of the Asiatic Zoédlogical Expedition.

Report of the President 4I 


I. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION 


Freperic A. Lucas, Director 


While the ever-increasing congestion, caused by the failure 
to erect new buildings, is felt in both the exhibition halls and 
the study series, the delay has not been without some small 
compensation, as it has permitted or compelled special atten- 
tion being given to the rearrangement and labeling of collec- 
tions already on exhibition. The great drawback of lack of 
room is felt most seriously in the exhibits of mammals, reptiles 
and fishes: for example, there is absolutely no provision at 
present for the mammals of Asia and Europe; the systematic 
series of fishes is in the Hall of Birds, and the reptile groups 
are installed in rooms whence they must ultimately be moved at 
the expenditure of much time and trouble. 

The need for storage room is felt everywhere, but especially 
in the departments of mammals, birds and insects. 


There has been again a steady increase in the use made of 
the Museum and its collections by classes and students from 
schools and colleges, from kindergarten to uni- 
Be cal Lee versity, the exhibits being studied from the view- 
points of art, science, hygiene and technology. 
Aside from these the Museum has been used by or has fur- 
nished information for sculptors, painters and designers of tex- 
tiles; writers and illustrators of books, magazine and newspaper 
articles; actors and producers of motion pictures ; manufactur- 
ers of toys and buttons, and by farmers, gardeners, foresters 
and housekeepers in search of remedies for various “pests.” 
The most accurate record of the attendance of students is 
probably that kept in the Darwin Hall, and this shows that 
during the year the collections in that one room have been used 
by 273 classes, comprising 11,442 pupils and representing 122 
institutions. This is an increase of 4,775 students over 1914. 
Among those making regular use of the exhibits in the Dar- 
win Hall are Columbia University, Barnard College, the Col- 
lege of the City of New York, Hunter College, the Long Island 


42 Report of the President 


Medical College and the Morris, DeWitt Clinton and Evander 
Childs High Schools. 

The use of the Indian and Peruvian collections by students 
of textile design has been noted at length in the reports of the 
Department of Anthropology, and Mr. Crawford is to be 
congratulated on the far-reaching results of his interest and 
enthusiasm. Aside from these special classes it is estimated 
that the monthly attendance of pupils under direct supervision 
of teachers is about 350, and there are besides ten university 
students in anthropology. 

The minerals are used by classes and by collectors for the 
identification of specimens; the mammals are extensively 
copied by classes in drawing and the butterflies by pupils in 
water color; while the birds, both single specimens and groups, 
are in demand for purposes of illustration and the preparation 
of educational lantern slides. 

There have been and occasionally are still queries as to 
whether a museum serves any useful purpose: if getting an 
education or making a living is a useful purpose, it would seem 
that these queries are answered in the affirmative. 


The demand for “popular” publications continues good, the 
General Guide as usual leading, with a sale of 3,392 copies. The 
profitable issue of the Guide is hampered by the 
Popular | fact that, owing to additions to and changes in 
Publications 5 Soir . oe el ras 
the collections, it is not possible, in justice to visi- 
tors, to print an edition of more than 5,000 copies. For example, 
during 1917 in all probability there will be placed on exhibition 
the Apache, Virginia Deer, Florida Reptiles, Red African 
Monkey and Nahant Tide Pool Groups, to say nothing of note- 
worthy single objects, all of which call for notice in a Guide. 
In addition to the Guide, there were sold 2,516 Leaflets, 1,142 
Handbooks, and 1,155 reprints of articles from the Journal, 
the total sales of all publications for the last five years being 
38,418. Post-cards are still in demand, and 853 sets of fifteen 
and 12,214 sets of three were sold in 1916, a total of 49,437 
cards, or more than in any previous year. 
It is rather interesting that such leaflets as “A First Chapter 
in Natural History,” “The Geology and Fauna of the Hudson

River Region” and “Heredity and Sex” are among the “best 
_ sellers,” for the first two of these are small and not illustrated 

and the last deals with a rather abstruse subject: evidently 
there is a desire for real information on the part of some of our 
visitors. 

An addition to the publications that should be in demand is 
the series of one hundred poster stamps prepared under the 
direction of Mr. Pindar, who has made time to do this work 
in addition to his ever-growing other official duties, and has 
also prepared a Guide to the Nature Treasures of New York 
City, advance copies of which were distributed during the meet- 
ing of the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science in December. 


Work on various groups and important single specimens has 
been prosecuted vigorously during the year, though in a num- 
., ber of instances the results will not be visible 
New Exhibits Jiotil another season. Mountain Sheep, Jack 
Rabbits, Pack Rats and Brown Bats have been added to the 
North American Series and the Mountain Goat Group has been 
completed. A fine group of Colobus Monkeys, and three 
figures, a Norwegian, a Chinese and an Africa, mark, it is 
hoped, the beginning of the complete “making over” of the 
Primates Hall. The figures, by the Washington sculptor Mr. 
U. S. J. Dunbar, are typical examples of the three better 
defined races of mankind and carry the exhibits of Primates 
beyond the point where they usually stop; for, while text-books 
agree that man is a member of the order, yet his display from a 
zoological standpoint is left usually to the anthropologist, who 
quite as usually omits to treat him zodlogically. 

Weyer’s Cave is practically finished and was placed on ex- 
hibition during the meeting of the American Association for 
the Advancement of Science; “Virginia Deer in Summer” and 
“Red African Monkeys” are well advanced, and so is the Flor- 
ida Reptile Group, the largest “habitat group” that the Museum 
has ever undertaken; the Apache Group is three-fifths done, 
and studies have been made for the Navajo and New Zealand 
Anthropological Groups, which it is hoped may be commenced 
during the coming year. 


44 Report of the President 


The printing office, under Miss Clara M. Beale and Mr. 
Stephen Klassen, has turned out, as usual, a large and varied 
amount of work, ranging from single labels to 
He t-te and pamphlets, and including 29,000 color plates and 
abeling ; te R 
“inserts” for the Journal, requiring 89,500 impres- 
sions, and 1,500 color plates for the Habitat Groups Leaflet, 
calling for 6,000 impressions. Besides the numerous small 
booklets needed for lecture work, 1,500 copies of the first part 
of a Teachers’ Handbook, comprising 48 pages and cover, were 
also printed in the Museum. Aside from these, the printing 
for 1916 may be summarized as follows:

The City has again shown its good will by making an appro- 
priation of $15,657 for necessary repairs, and this has per- 
mitted much visible improvement in the exhibi- 
Care of Building tion halls and much invisible improvement in 
and Equipment : ‘ 
the way of sadly needed repairs to various 
sections of the roof, and, above all, to the roofs of the end 
towers, which have been for years a source of almost constant 
trouble. Also included in special repairs was the painting of 
the Forestry and Mexican Halls, the making over and painting 
of the South Corridor, second floor, and the painting of the 
Hall of the Age of Mammals and that of the Age of Man. 
The Visitors’ Room, Superintendent’s Office, Primates Hall 


Report of the President 45 


and that of the Synoptic Series of Mammals have also been 
painted to their very great improvement and to the delectation 
of the visitor. 

It has also been possible with the special appropriation to 
replace at last the old and badly corroded return lines of the 
North Wing, in use for fifteen years, with new piping, and 
to introduce new, semi-indirect lighting in the Tertiary and 
Quaternary Halls, fourth floor: these halls are now the best 
lighted in the building. 

All the above repairs, replacements and improvements have 
been made by the Museum force. 

As part of the equipment work, there have been built in the 
Museum shops another 120-drawer case for lantern slides, 
300 glazed drawers for insects, 800 trays for standard storage 
cases and 200 feet of iron galleries. The metal storage racks 
for fossil vertebrates have been completed and metal shelving 
has been installed around the anthropological storerooms, to 
provide room for pottery and other objects not injured by 
exposure to light and air; 37 metal frame cases have been con- 
structed, some of them of very considerable size, such as that 
for the duck-billed dinosaur, and various exhibition and stor- 
age cases of wood have been built for departments. 


For the first time for many years, there has been a decrease, 
of about eight per cent., in the number of visitors, though in 
this particular case the reasons for the decrease 
seem apparent: the first three months of the 
year were unusually inclement; the traction strikes deterred 
many people from using the customary car lines, and the out- 
break of infantile paralysis caused many children and their 
parents to stay at home and prevented others from returning 
as usual in the fall, while at the same time it prevented others 
from visiting the city. 

A study of museum reports will show that at sporadic inter- 
vals, and usually without apparent reason, the attendance at a 
given museum will fall off many thousands. This condition is 
viewed usually with greater apprehension by boards of trustees 
than the writer believes to be warranted; such a drop is bound 
to come sooner or later, and it is a great mistake in such cases 


Attendance 


46 Report of the President 


to endeavor to increase attendance by special exhibitions. This 
is particularly true of great museums with large, well arranged 
exhibits, where such an effort diverts the attention of the staff 
and of the mechanics and preparators from their regular and 
systematic efforts to improve the museum collections. The 
writer does not believe that any exhibit that can ordinarily be 
made is of sufficient value to warrant the closing to visitors of 
an orderly, well labeled collection for so long as a month even. 

The number of incoming and outgoing shipments, aside from 
mail packages, that have passed through the shipping room is 


4,969, comprising 11,631 pieces. 


The need of the Museum for the new wing and court build- 
ing is more pressing than ever, and there is continued call 
for cases, especially for storage cases for the 
study series. The unfortunate delay in pro- 
viding for these has kept the case work just about six months 
behind the need for new cases. 

The President in his report again shows the need of the 
important additions to the Museum just noted, and the Direc- 
tor feels the want of a third wing especially designed for 
workroom, storage and temporary exhibitions. This is em- 
phasized by the fact that because of the work on the various 
large mural paintings, either actually in hand or projected, the 
Museum must either put up a temporary building (and it is 
very desirable that the work should be carried on near the 
Museum) or pay rent—either directly or in increased price for 
the paintings. 


Building Needs 


An incidental but somewhat expensive need is that for two 
flagstaffs, with ornamental bases, whereon to fly the national 
and city flags. These are estimated to cost not less 
than $3,000. As it is only recently that Americans 
have awakened to the fact that they have a national flag, and 
still more recently that civic feeling has called for a city flag, 
it is to be hoped that this want may be filled.

II. REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENTS 


PUBLIC EDUCATION 
Department of Public Education 
Georce H. SHERWoop, Curator 


The activities of the Department of Public Education may 
be separated into two major divisions: 


Museum Extension to the Schools, 
The Photographic Work of the Museum. 


In both these divisions there is a vast amount of time-con- 
suming routine work which necessarily must be duplicated 
annually. The summary of the work for the year 1916, how- 
ever, reveals substantial progress in all lines, enabling the 
Museum to maintain its present position as a factor in public 
education. 

In its relations with the public schools, the department has 
broadened its activities by coming in contact with a larger num- 
ber of teachers, by the improvement of its methods of instruct- 
ing children, and by codperation with teachers’ training schools 
and with universities. There are certain features of the work 
which stand out as indicative of this expansion. Among these, 
special mention may be made of the participation in the enter- 
tainment of the National Education Association, which met in 
New York City in July; the publication of the first part of a 
Teachers’ Handbook to the Exhibitions and Collections in The 
American Museum of Natural History; the preparation of an 
exhibit illustrating the Museum’s educational activities, and the 
part taken in the Teachers’ Institute which was organized prior 
to the opening of the schools in September. 


The broad scope of the Museum’s educational work is fur- 
ther illustrated by the following summary of the statistics for 
1916: 


48 Report of the President 


The number of lantern slides lent to the public schools and 
other educational institutions has increased from 11,929 in 
1915 to 38,912 in 1916, an increase of more than 
ee of 226 per cent., while the number of public schools 
tatistics “ e . . 
borrowing lantern slides has increased from 35 in 
1915 to 63 in 1916, an increase of 80 per cent. 

In 1916, the Lectures to Pupils of Public Schools, given in 
the Museum, numbered 76. The total attendance was 44,398. 
In the Local Lecture Centers, 38 lectures were given by mem- 
bers of the Museum staff, with a total attendance of 37,400. 
The grand total of attendance at all the 114 Lectures for School 
Children was 81,708. 

Special Lectures for Teachers were given during Institute 
Week and at various other times during the year. The total 
attendance was 5,632. 

In 1916, 704 Nature Study Collections were in circulation in 
439 schools and reached 1,118,322 children. 

The Circulating Collections for Libraries have been used by 
12 of the Branch Libraries and have been studied by 31,829 
children and 1,505 adults. 

The Lectures for the Blind have been attended by the pupils 
from 9 of the public schools; the two lectures for the adult 
blind by 439 persons. 

The Reference Collection of Negatives and Photographs has 
been increased by 12,616 negatives and 15,030 photographs, 
the total reference file now numbering 43,311 negatives and 


60,690 photographs. 


Under a special grant from the Board of Education, it has 
been possible to place our unique collection of lantern slides, 
which now numbers more than 20,000, at the 
Circulation of — disposal of teachers for class-room use. Circu- 
Lantern Slides . ‘ ’ 
lars of information, catalogues of the slides and 
lecture manuscripts have been prepared and distributed to the 
teachers. As a further aid to teachers, ten complete lectures 
have been prepared on subjects taken from the syllabus of 
study issued by the Board of Education of the City of New 
York. These prepared lectures are in great demand, and it is 
planned to add others to the series as soon as possible. This 


Report of the President 49 


service to the schools was begun in April, 1915, and has been 
in charge of Miss Kathryn I. Upson. Unfortunately many of 
the schools are not equipped with an auditorium that can be 
darkened or with projection apparatus, and the use of the 
slides is thus necessarily restricted to relatively few schools. 
In view of these facts, the growth of the work, as shown by the 
following statistics, is encouraging: 


IgI5 1916 
Number of Loans of Slides Made ....... 196 680 
Number of Institutions Supplied ........ 51 03 
Number of Slides Circulated ............ 11,929 38,912 


It is hoped that all the schools may be equipped with stere- 
opticon lanterns at an early date, in order to avail themselves 
of the use of these slides. 


The nature of the Museum’s lectures for school children has 
become so well known that it is necessary to say only that the 
usual courses have been given during the year. 
Lectures for In addition to the lectures of the regular 
School Children : : 
in the Museum COUrses, many special lectures have been given 
to pupils of the elementary and high schools. 
In all, 76 lectures were given in the Museum, and the total 
attendance was 44,398. That this was somewhat below the 
average is due in part to the infantile paralysis epidemic and 
to inclement weather. 


The department has maintained two local lecture centers in 
the schools, namely, at the Washington Irving High School, 
in cooperation with Miss Rosemary F. Mullen, and 

Local in Public School 64, in codperation with Mr. William 
cee E. Grady. In addition to this, a number of lectures 
have been given by special request in other schools. 

These lectures are repetitions of those given at the Museum. 
The total number given outside the Museum was 38, and the 
total attendance 37,400. The many appeals from teachers to 
have these lectures given in their schools indicate that they 
are of real educational value and lead us to believe that the 
most effective expansion of the Museum educational work 
would be the establishment of other local lecture centers. Such 


50 Report of the President 


expansion cannot be undertaken without a larger staff and 
further appropriations. 


The teachers’ program of routine work is so full that the 

opportunities the Museum offers are apt to be overlooked. 
During the past year, special efforts have been 
Codperation § made to show the teachers how they may use 
with Teachers , 
the Museum. The annual meeting of the Na- 

tional Education Association was held in New York City, 
July 1 to 8, 1916, and the Department of Public Education 
took an active part in the entertainment of this organization. 
This was done in two ways: First, a Teachers’ Handbook to 
the Exhibitions and Collections in The American Museum of 
Natural History was begun by the publication of Part I, which 
treats of “The North American Indian Collections, Their Use 
in Elementary English, History and Geography and in High 
School History and Economics.” This is a forty-eight-page 
booklet written by Miss Ann E. Thomas of this department. 
Secondly, a special exhibit in the foyer of the Museum was 
prepared, illustrating all the phases of our extension work 
with the Public Schools, the Public Libraries and the Blind. 

On account of the epidemic of poliomyelitis during the sum- 
mer and autumn of 1916, it was decided not to open the public 
schools on September 11, the date originally set, and, instead 
of regular school work during the two weeks following this 
date, there was conducted a Teachers’ Institute, organized un- 
der the direction of the Board of Education. Daily meetings 
were held in centers scattered over Greater New York, and by 
request the department took part in a number of these. In this 
connection eight lectures were given, at which nearly 5,000 
teachers were present. Besides these lectures, several confer- 
ences were held with delegations of teachers who came to the 
Museum to examine material available for class-room use. 
The Teachers’ Institute gave the department an excellent op- 
portunity to come into closer contact with the teachers of the 
public schools. 


Free docent service is offered by the department to teachers 
and classes from private schools as well as from the public 


Report of the President 5I 


schools of Greater New York and vicinity. This service is 
valuable, because it has the advantage of direct personal con- 
tact between teacher and pupil. During the year, 
2,758 pupils received instruction concerning the ex- 
hibits in the Museum in this way. In addition, similar 
service is provided for Members of the Museum and their 
friends when requested. Much time is required in this work, 
for, although the parties are small, the calls for instructors are 
frequent. 


Docent 
Service 


Heretofore the docent service has been incidental to the 
other activities of the department, chiefly because the routine 
work of the assistants assigned to this service 
does not permit them to give adequate time to 
preparation. Instruction in the exhibition halls 
is important, and the subject is being studied more intensively 
in the experiment that is being carried on in connection with 
Barnard College. In the autumn, at the opening of the college 
year, Dean Gildersleeve made arrangements with the Museum 
providing for laboratory work in the anthropological halls, and 
the students in Professor Boas’s undergraduate class at Bar- 
nard visit the Museum in three sections, in groups of from five 
to nine. For an hour and a half, under the instruction of Miss 
Ann E. Thomas of the Museum, the collections are studied and 
notes and drawings are made. 


Codperation with 
Barnard College 


That teachers, especially the high school teachers, appreciate 
the teaching value of the collections is evidenced by the fact 
that twice a year, during Regents’ Week, classes from 
ao the high schools come to the Museum for definite 
eek : : ‘ ; ; 
laboratory work in connection with their studies. The 
high school pupils in attendance numbered 8,242, and included 
classes from the Morris, Evander Childs, Washington Irving, 
DeWitt Clinton, Julia Richman and Eastern District High 
Schools. 


The educational work for the blind—evening lectures for 
adults, and illustrated talks for school children—has been car- 


52 Report of the President 


ried on during the year through the Jonathan Thorne Memorial 
Fund. For the adult blind, two lectures were given. On 

March 17, Mr. George K. Cherrie told of his 
Bee Work adventures in a talk entitled “With Colonel 
or the Blind 2 

Roosevelt on the River of Doubt,” and on 
May 26 Mr. Charles Crawford Gorst spoke on “Bird Music.” 

For the blind children of the public schools, talks were given 

at the Museum during school hours, and collections of birds, 
mammals and insects and large relief globes of the world were 
sent to the class rooms. Ten new and improved globes have 
been added to the number already in circulation, and schools 
in Brooklyn, as well as in Manhattan, have been supplied. The 
talks were always carefully illustrated by objects which the 
children could handle. Each teacher selected five subjects 
especially suited to her class-room work, and, visiting the Mu- 
seum at a time most convenient to her, received a lesson 
adapted to the needs of her pupils. The classes were always 
small, giving the opportunity, so necessary in helping blind 
children, for individual attention. 


The Jonathan Thorne Memorial Fund covers not only the 
expense incurred in providing for the lectures and talks, but 
it also refunds, whenever necessary, the car 
Jonathan Thorne fares of the blind adults and children and their 
Memorial Fund ; ; 
guides. In this way, many who could not 
otherwise afford to do so can take advantage of the opportu- 
nities opened to them by the Museum. Moreover, for the 
adults who have no friends or relatives upon whom they can 
depend for guidance to the evening lectures, the Boy Scouts 
make provision, calling for them before the lecture and guiding 
them to their homes at the conclusion of the entertainment. 
We desire to express our appreciation for this courtesy to 
Mr. Lorillard Spencer, Jr., Scout Commissioner of Manhattan, 
Mr. W. B. Holcombe, Scout Commissioner of Brooklyn, and 
Mr. C. Elmore Smith, Scout Commissioner of Richmond. 


The general lectures have included two series of Science 
Stories for the Children of Members given on Saturday morn-

eck worth, given in cooperation with Columbia Univer- 

ectures ‘ : 

sity. Free lectures under the auspices of the Board 
of Education were given in the auditorium from October to 
May, while the New York Academy of Sciences and Affiliated 
Societies have held their sessions at the Museum. In addition 
to these, there have been a number of special lectures in con- 
junction with the American Scenic and Historic Preservation 
Society and other organizations. 


Although the present status of nature study in the schools 
is somewhat indefinite and is dependent largely upon the inter- 
est of the individual teacher, there has been a 
Circulating continuous demand for the Museum circulating 
eon collections. During the year the number of 
collections in circulation was 704, and, according 
to statistics furnished by the teachers, they were studied by 
1,073,188 pupils of the New York City Schools—a pupil being 
counted once for each case of specimens studied. Fifty cabi- 
nets were rented to the Newark, New Jersey, Schools, and 
these were studied during the spring months by 45,134 pupils. 
This makes the total number of pupils reached by these collec- 
tions, 1,118,322. Undoubtedly the number of pupils reached 
would have been greater had not the epidemic of infantile 
paralysis delayed the opening of the schools. 
The table of statistics in comparison with previous years is 
given below:

54 Report of the President 


Twelve of the branch libraries of New York City have 
availed themselves, during the year, of the opportunity to 
borrow the circulating loan collections prepared 
for the children’s rooms by the Museum. Sev- 
eral departments of the Museum have codperated 
in the making up of the collections, the Department of An- 
thropology being especially helpful. For the travel series, 
specimens giving a picture of the country and the life of the 
people were chosen, sometimes supplemented by mounted 
photographs. The Indian collections contained models, dolls 
and clothing, trinkets, weapons, etc., made and used by the 
Indians themselves. About 31,829 children and 1,505 adults 
saw the exhibits, and the librarians report that the circulation 
of the books illustrated by these exhibits was appreciably in- 
creased. 

In several libraries, cooperation with the <schools of the 
neighborhood was encouraged. For example, Dr. Lee, the Su- 
perintendent of Districts 16 and 17, saw the Mexican Collec- 
tion at the Aguilar Branch children’s room, and, in order that 
his pupils might be studying Mexico at the time that the 
exhibit was available at the library, changed the course of 
study of all his sixth-grade classes. The children visited the 
library with their teachers, and a special table, with books and 
pictures pertinent to the collection, was set aside for them. 
Explanatory talks were also given by the librarians. 


Library Loan 
Exhibitions 


In addition to its function as intermediary agent between the 
Museum and the educational system of the city, the Depart- 
ment of Public Education is the custodian of all 
the negatives, photographs, lantern slides and 
electrotypes in the Museum and is also the official 
photographer of the Museum. During the year 1916, 1,318 
negatives, 5,363 prints, 2,328 lantern slides, 389 enlargements 
and 15 transparencies have been made. While these statistics 
bear witness to the efficiency of our one photographer, Mr. 
Julius Kirschner, they do not in any degree express the pa- 
tience, energy and ingenuity he has displayed in producing the 
desired results. 


Photographic 
Work 


Report of the President 55 


The reference file now numbers 43,311 negatives and 60,690 
photographs. Teachers, writers and other educators have 
been keen to avail themselves of this 
Reference Photographs source of reliable information on the 
and Negatives . 
latest results of research or exploration. 
The most important addition to the reference file during the 
year has been the superb collection of negatives made by Mr. 
Herbert Lang (at his own expense) on the Museum’s Congo 
Expedition and permanently deposited by him with the Mu- 
seum. The collection numbers 9,500 negatives of the highest 
quality and gives a remarkable record of the scope of the field 
work of Messrs. Lang and Chapin. Another impertant addi- 
tion to the deposit series of negatives consists of 1,300 nega- 
tives taken by Miss Mary C. Dickerson in southern New Eng- 
land. These negatives include intimate field studies of mam- 
mals, birds, batrachians, flowers and trees, and scenic views of 
distinct biological and educational value. 


The rapid development of motion pictures has brought into 
the educational field another important method of imparting 
instruction to children and adults. It is the 
ey of aim, therefore, of the Museum’s Department 
otion. Pictures : ; pete : 
of Public Education to have in its possession 
a set of the finest motion picture films of educational value that 
can be secured. 

The films depicting African life presented by Mr. Paul J. 
Rainey and Mr. James Barnes, and Mr. M. P. Skinner’s film 
of Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, formed a splendid nucleus 
for the library. During the year 1916, 530 feet of film of birds 
and animals, taken by Mr. David S. Ball, and 1,200 feet pictur- 
ing the life and customs of the Indians of the Southwest, taken 
by Dr. Pliny E. Goddard, were added to the collection. 
Through the generosity of Mr. R. Fulton Cutting, the depart- 
ment has secured a set of four reels of the film of “Hiawatha” 
produced by Mr. F. E. Moore—a most valuable addition to 
our series. 


The rapid growth of the department has necessitated a 
greater systematization of the work. As usual, the principal 


56 Report of the President 


administrative duties of the department have fallen upon the 
Assistant Curator, Dr. G. Clyde Fisher, who has been assisted 
by Miss Helen M. Vreeland. The relations with the 
Public Libraries and the work for the blind have been 
under the direction of Miss Ann E. Thomas, assisted by Dr. 
Fisher and Miss Clara A. Kelsey. All the members of the de- 
partment have been called upon for docent service. 


Staft 


During the year 1916, the Department of Public Education 
has profited by the helpful codperation of a number of firms 
and individuals, as indicated below: Mr. 
Ernest Harold Baynes, Brown Brothers, 
C. Beseler Co. and Mr. E. W. Deming, by the loan of nega- 
tives for making lantern slides; the Canadian Pacific Railway, 
the Eastern Steamship Corporation, the International Har- 
vester Co., Brown Brothers, the Milwaukee Museum, the New 
York Tenement House Commission and the New York De- 
partment of Street Cleaning, by the loan of photographs for 
the purpose of making lantern slides; Mr. Lee Keedick, Mr. 
John Burroughs, the Canadian Pacific Railway, and The New 
York State Conservation Commission, by the loan of motion 
picture films for use in lectures to children; Mr. William de 
la M. Cary, by permission to photograph paintings for the pur- 
pose of making lantern slides; the Bureau of Municipal Re- 
search, by furnishing books containing information for the 
preparation of lectures; the Commissioner of Accounts, by 
furnishing charts for the purpose of making lantern slides; 
the Glens Falls Insurance Co., by the loan of lithographs for 
the purpose of making lantern slides; the New York Public 
Library, by the loan of books on Japan for use in the National 
Education Association Exhibit.

Curator Edmund Otis Hovey, who in 1915 was placed in 
charge of the relief ship sent to North Greenland to bring back 


Report of the President 57 


the members of the Crocker Land Expedition, has been absent 
from the department during the year, owing to the failure of 

the “Cluett” to perform its mission. The 
ee “Cluett” left Sydney on July 19, 1915,but,owing 

to certain mishaps to the ship and extremely 
bad ice conditions in Melville Bay, did not succeed in going 
farther north than North Star Bay, some 125 miles south of 
Etah, arriving at North Star Bay September 12, 1915. 

By means of a motor launch placed at his disposal by Mr. 
Peter Freuchen, Mr. Rasmussen’s representative in North 
Greenland, Dr. Hovey then proceeded to Etah and brought 
back to the “Cluett” four members of the expedition, Messrs. 
Ekblaw, Green, Allen and Tanquary, Messrs. MacMillan, 
Hunt and Small being absent from Etah at the time. On the 
return trip from Etah, Dr. Hovey met Mr. MacMillan and 
made arrangements for him, Dr. Hunt and Mr. Small to remain 
another year in Greenland, as it was not feasible to bring out 
the collections and the equipment of the expedition. 

On September 19, the “Cluett’” left North Star Bay for 
America, but was caught in the ice and was finally forced to 
go into winter quarters at Parker Snow Bay, some fifty miles 
southwest of the Rasmussen station at North Star Bay. 

In January, 1916, because of the shortage of provisions on 
the “Cluett,” Dr. Hovey and Messrs. Green, Allen and Tan- 
quary undertook the 1300-mile sledge journey over the sea ice 
to the settlements in South Greenland. On the first day out, 
they covered about sixty miles; but the physical exertion 
proved too great for Dr. Hovey and he found it necessary to 
return to the ship. Messrs. Tanquary, Allen and Green con- 
tinued the journey and ultimately reached South Greenland 
and returned to New York by way of Copenhagen. Dr. Tan- 
quary, the first to arrive, informed the Crocker Land Com- 
mittee that it would be necessary to send a second relief ship 
to the Arctic, and in due time the “Danmark” was chartered 
from the Greenland Mining Company, provisioned, and started 
from Ivigtut, South Greenland, in July, 1916, for Thule and 
Etah. 

Dr. Hovey did not choose to come out on the “Cluett,” which 
returned to St. John in early September, 1916, since he was 


58 Report of the President 


daily expecting the arrival of the relief steamer which Mr. 
Rasmussen, the Danish explorer, informed him the Crocker 
Land Committee was sending north. Unfortunately, this sec- 
ond relief ship, the “Danmark,” did not return in the summer 
of 1916, and Dr. Hovey and the members of the Crocker Land 
Expedition have been forced to spend another winter in Green- 
land. 

Owing to Dr. Hovey’s enforced absence in the field, the 
department was unable to undertake additional field work. 


The New York Academy of Sciences reélected Curator 
Hovey Recording Secretary and Editor for 1916, and the 
Geological Society of America retained him as Recording 
Secretary for 1916 and renominated him for that office 
for 1917. Assistant Curator Reeds served as Secretary of the 
Section of Geology and Mineralogy of the New York Acad- 
emy of Sciences during 1916 and was reélected for 1917. 

In April, Miss Anna I. Jonas, Ph.D. in Geology, Bryn Mawr 
College 1912, was employed as special assistant 1n connection 
with the preliminary identification of certain important groups 
of fossils and the revision of exhibits. 


Staff 


In the absence of Curator Hovey, the Director requested 

Assistant Curator Reeds to take up the revision of the depart- 

mental exhibit which had been started in 1912. 

Lansing of His first efforts were devoted to the preparation 

of a set of drawings to scale of the exhibition 

hall and its cases. The Martinique exhibit was revised, and a 

representative portion installed on the third floor stairway land- 

ing alongside the Mont Pelé transparencies, and the congestion 

reduced by a rearrangement of cases and revision of exhibit 
material. 


In the meantime, Messrs. Brickner and Berlin were intrusted 
with the arduous task of bringing together the 10,000 typed 
and figured specimens and arranging them ac- 

aren cording to the entries in the Museum Bulletin, 
Volume XI, the published catalogue of the most 

extensive and valuable collection of its kind in America, This 
collection is highly prized by all geologists and paleontologists, 


Report of the President 59 


since it is the initial set of specimens upon which the sciences 
of stratigraphic geology and invertebrate paleontology were 
built in North America. It is a great source of reference, and, 
although incomplete, it is the standard set for Paleozoic rocks. 
The Trustees of this Museum took upon themselves a great 
responsibility when they purchased these specimens from 
James Hall, for they obligated themselves to all working geolo- 
gists to care for the specimens, not only for this generation 
but for all time to come. Experience has proved that more 
and better care is taken of such specimens when on exhibition 
than when lodged elsewhere. 

The biologic and stratigraphic series, comprising some 90,- 
000 catalogued specimens, are being rearranged according to 
a method which enhances their value for study and exhibition 
purposes. 

Selected specimens of the gastropods and plants of the bio- 
logic and stratigraphic series have already been mounted on 
tablets especially devised for this purpose. It will take two 
men with no interruptions about two years to mount the speci- 
mens which have aiready been selected. 


During March and April, the Assistant Curator, with the 
assistance of Mr. A. Briesemeister and Mr. George Robertson, 
constructed for Professor Osborn’s Hale Lectures 
Steg and a set of six paleogeographic globe relief models of 
North America, after outline maps supplied by 
Professor Charles Schuchert of Yale University. So far as 
known, this was the first attempt to represent in relief and 
outline the ancient land surfaces of six stages in the evolution 
of the North American continent. The various incursions of 
the sea over the land are painted in blue on the globe surface. 
Each stage is developed on a globe sector which has a radius 
of three feet and three and one-half inches. Three sectors 
form a hemisphere. The models have been placed on exhibi- 
tion at the entrance to the hall. 

After the completion of the six paleogeographic models, 
the relief of the ocean floors about the North American conti- 
nent was modeled in clay on a mold of the above-mentioned 
globe by Mr. P. B. Hill. The data were supplied by the 


60 Report of the President 


Assistant Curator and outlined on the globe surface by Mr. A. 
Briesemeister. Eight casts of this ocean relief have been 
made, and they will serve as excellent bases for modeling the 
continental relief of North America during eight periods of its 
history. They will illustrate the distribution of the epiconti- 
nental seas, in which certain sediments and fossil shells were 
deposited. As paleogeography is still a subject of research, it 
will take some time to gather the data and complete the models. 

With the aid of the excellent topographic map of the Grand 
Cafion which the United States Geological Survey has pre- 
pared, the Assistant Curator is constructing a relief model of 
the Grand Cafion, Mr. P. B. Hill assisting. 

The Weyer’s Cave Exhibit, the installation of which has been 
in charge of Mr. Peters of the Department of Preparation, 
was completed and opened to the public in December. 

In connection with the work on the Porto Rico collections, 
the Assistant Curator, with the aid of Mr. A. Briesemeister as 
draftsman, prepared two excellent maps, one of Porto Rico, 
the other of the West Indian region. 


Many inquiries concerning the seismograph were answered 
during the year. Plans and specifications were forwarded to 
Professor H. F. Reid of Johns Hopkins Univer- 
sity, Baltimore. Excellent records of earthquakes 
were secured, many of which were consulted in the courts of 
New York and near-by States. The great dynamite explosions 
on Black Tom Island, New Jersey, were not recorded, although 
many down-town buildings in New York were affected. This 
is an instance showing that, although great dynamic explosions 
produce violent air concussions, they do not perceptibly affect 
the earth. 


Seismograph 


With the assistance of Messrs. Hill, Brickner and Berlin 
for a month, the washing, cleaning and sorting of the large 
Porto Rico collection were finished. Dr. Jonas 
spent about one month in helping the Assistant Cura- 
tor with the preliminary identifications of the more important 
groups of fossils. The fossil plants of the Porto Rican col-

With the assistance of Mr. Lloyd W. Maxwell for three 
months, a large number of invertebrate lots in the Hunton 
collection from Oklahoma was sorted, and the species named. 


The most important accession of the year was the complete 
fall of the Burkett siderite. Other valuable accessions were 
; the donations of Miss A. K. Harned of 110 speci- 
Accessions ens of Gold, Silver, Lead and Copper ores from 
Colorado; Mr. E. J. Valeur’s thirty-five rock specimens and 
two slabs containing Tertiary fossils from Santo Domingo; 
Mr. Samuel Howard’s fourteen samples of marble from 
Alaska, Texas and Vermont; samples of marble were also 
donated by the Middlebury Marble Company and by Mr. 
Thomas T. Callahan of Gouverneur, N. Y. Excellent fossil 
specimens were presented to the department by Dr. L. Hussa- 
kof, Mr. Charles Platz and Mrs. Georgia M. Clapham. 


Two scientific papers and a number of abstracts of papers 
eye 1 presented before the Geological Society of Amer- 
ica and the New York Academy of Sciences have 

been published by members of the department during the year. 


MINERALS 
Department of Mineralogy 


L. P. Gratacap, Curator 


The Morgan Collection of Gems and the Bement Collection 
of Minerals have become distinct educational assets to the city. 
They were visited during October, November and December, 
1916, by more than 26,000 people. It is apparent that these 
figures strongly reinforce the suggestions made in our last 
annual report as to what might be the overwhelming effect of 
an adequate installation of the Gem Collection and its enlarge- 
ment. ' 

From observation it is almost certainly to be inferred that 
a greater number of students, in a real sense, make use of the 


62 Report of the President 


Hall of Minerals, and, viewed in this light, the percentage of 
students in the whole number of the attendance is much above 
fifty per cent., a very satisfactory evidence of the serious use 
of the collections. The people, preponderatingly men, who 
remained in each hall for a considerable time evinced a studi- 
ous interest, attributable perhaps to previous knowledge, or to 
newly awakened recognition of the character and beauty of 
minerals, though obviously, in the Gem Room, their attention 
partook of the popular admiration that gems universally excite. 


The Collection of Minerals, during the past year, has been 
enriched by a very considerable group of specimens, some of 
which have unusual beauty, some are of phenomenal 
size, while among the additions are specimens of 
rare or lately described species. 

The collection has been enlarged by the addition of two 
hundred specimens, among which may be mentioned some 
interesting examples of the change from Anhydrite to Thau- 
masite, both found in the New Jersey trap-rocks, confirming 
the discovery of Mr. Frederick I. Allen of the origin of the 
latter singular compound, through a progressive alteration in 
the former. Some of the specimens, together with others illus- 
trating the origin of the diamond-shaped cavities in the New 
Jersey Zeolites and Quartzes, of the trap region, as derivative 
from vanished crystals of Glauberite, will appear in Dr. W. T. 
Schaller’s forthcoming Bulletin (United States Geological 
Survey). A Neptunite specimen of great size and richness, 
rivaling the examples now in the National Museum at Wash- 
ington; a superb series of the Pyrites of Colorado with others 
from Utah, remarkable for their beauty, size and crystallo- 
graphic novelty; Tellurium crystals (furnace products) ; addi- 
tions to the suite of Californian precious and parti-colored 
Tourmalines; Benitoite (the unique gem-stone of California 
now rapidly disappearing in the mineral market); some ad- 
mirable crystallized Golds, and a large single nugget of Gold 
from the placer of Hunter Creek, Alaska; an astonishing 
crystallized surface of Dioptase from Siberia; Native Copper 
in clustered strings of crystals, with Calcite, from Bisbee, Ari- 
zona; and rare or new species, such as Ampangabeite, Beta-

fite (from Professor A. La Croix, Paris), Cebollite, Creedite, 
Hodgkinsonite, Parahopeite, Seartesite, Shattuckite and Wiik- 
ite, may be selected as indicative of the long suite of additions, 
all contributory to the collection’s value and completeness. 

As symptomatic of conditions now everywhere prevalent, 
though it would be hazardous to assign identical reasons, the 
price of minerals has enormously advanced, and, as a simple 
matter of appraisement, the fine collection now assembled in 
the Hall of Minerals has become a cash asset probably more 
than doubled in value. In this connection it is worthy of con- 
sideration that, according to many more or less well informed 
opinions, the offer upon the open market of numerous remark- 
able private collections of minerals will form one of the com- 
mercial sequelze of the present European war. 


WOODS AND FORESTRY 
Department of Woods and Forestry 


Mary CynTuiA Dickerson, Curator 


On the recommendation of President Henry Fairfield 
Osborn, Mr. C. S. Pietro was commissioned by the Trustees 
to execute for the Forestry Hall a bronze bust of Professor 
Charles Sprague Sargent, director of the Arnold Arboretum, 
Brookline, Massachusetts. This is in appreciation of the ser- 
vices of Professor Sargent to the American Museum in assem- 
bling the Jesup Collection of North American Woods, and in 
recognition of his valuable contributions to the science of silvi- 
culture. A bust of Mr. John Muir, executed by the same artist, 
has been offered to the Museum by Mrs. E. H. Harriman. 

Studies for the mural for the east end of the hall were made 
during the summer by Mr. Hobart Nichols, and a quarter-size 
sketch prepared. This mural will show a sunlit forest interior, 
and between the trees in the distance the forest-covered moun- 
tain slopes of a watershed. 

The department counts itself fortunate in having secured 
the artist, Mr. Milton D. Copulos, to carry on the work of 
preparation of sprays of flowers, fruits and leaves for the trees 
of the hall. The quality of work now being done reaches 


64 Report of the President 


the highest standard of accuracy, beauty and permanency. 
Among the sprays installed during the year are the hornbeam 
(201 leaves), the Florida turkey oak (30 leaves), the Florida 
bluejack oak (92 leaves), the Florida live oak (93 leaves), the 
fringe tree (63 leaves), the paper birch (123 leaves), the sugar 
maple (58 leaves), and the shellbark hickory (80 leaves). 

Mr. Barrington Moore, a graduate of the School of For- 
estry, Yale University, has been appointed associate curator 
in the department. Mr. Moore was a member of the United 
States Forest Service from 1909 to 1914, and has done con- 
siderable independent research in silvics and silviculture. It 
is hoped that there will be notable progress in 1917 in the 
educational exhibits so long delayed because of lack of funds 
and assistance. 

There have been some additions to the reference collection 
of foreign woods and to the descriptive labels in the hall. The 
walls of the hall have been tinted with a refreshing shade of 
green that harmonizes well with the woods and the sprays of 
flowers and leaves in the cases. Among accessions special 
mention must be given to a small collection of California 
woods presented by Dr. C. Hart Merriam, and to a valuable 
specimen of the cones of Coulter’s pine from 6,000 feet eleva- 
tion in the San Jacinto Mountains. 

In addition to the work of the department of forestry and 
that of herpetology, the editorship of The American Museum 
Journal has been carried. 


EXISTING INVERTEBRATES 
Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy 


Henry Epwarp Crampton, Curator 


The activities of the past year have been concerned largely 
with the “consolidation” of the results of earlier field-work, 
research, publication and exhibition, for the greater 
effectiveness of the department as a part of the 
Museum. Mr. Miner, assisted by Mr. Shimotori and Mr. 
Olsen of the Preparation Staff, revisited Nahant and areas of 
Cape Ann, Massachusetts, to make final studies of inverte-

brates and their bionomic associates, with a view to the com- 
pletion of the Tide Pool Group and the construction of addi- 
tional models for the Darwin Hall. Mr. George Abbot James, 
on whose property the tide pool is situated, continued to extend 
his many courtesies to the members of the expedition. Later 
Mr. Miner devoted a month to studies of the Adirondack 
Myriapoda, at stations among the lakes of the Fulton Chain 
and on the neighboring mountains, securing about 2,000 speci- 
mens. Dr. Lutz, accompanied and assisted by Dr. Rehn of 
the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, made an 
extended journey in southern Arizona and later proceeded 
alone to California and Utah; his expedition was supported by 
Mr. B. Preston Clark, who generously continued his assistance 
of the entomological work of the department. The fruits of 
this journey are about 20,000 specimens of unusual value for 
the study of the larger problems of insect distribution and 
evolution. In an expedition to the southeastern United States, 
which is also an important area for investigation, Mr. Watson 
obtained about 6,000 insects ; this work was prosecuted through 
the aid of Mr. Gaylord C. Hall, another of the department’s 
benefactors. 


Curator Crampton’s researches on Polynesian gastropods, 
under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, 
have been advanced, and the first extensive quarto 

“sm rpdrcoci volume, which deals with the species of Tahiti, 
has finally appeared. Curator Gratacap has de- 

voted much time to the identification and study of the exten- 
sive molluscan collections from Porto Rico. Mr. Fisk’s work 
on the West Indian echinoderms was unfortunately terminated 
by his illness and subsequent withdrawal from the staff. Pro- 
fessor Treadwell has finished the study of numerous small col- 
lections of annulates and has taken up the Porto Rican series, 
while Professor Raymond C. Osburn has advanced his inves- 
tigations of the Bryozoa. Dr. Willard G. Van Name, the new 
member of the staff, has worked over the West Indian 
ascidians and has nearly completed a valuable paper on that 
group. Publications in the field of entomology include Dr. 
Lutz’s admirable paper on “The Geographic Distribution of 


66 Report of the President 


Bombide,” a “Descriptive Catalogue of West Indian Cicin- 
deline” by Messrs. Leng and Mutchler, the “Lepidoptera of 
Florida” by John A. Grossbeck, edited by Mr. F. E. Watson, 
and a paper now in press entitled ‘Supplement to the Prelimi- 
nary List of the Coleoptera of the West Indies” by Messrs. 
Leng and Mutchler. The department contemplates the early 
publication also of “The Catocaline Moths of North America” 
by William Beutenmueller, with additions and revisions by 
William Barnes and J. McDunnough. Mr. Miner’s work on 
Myriapoda has been carried forward, and a paper will be ready 
for publication within the year 1917. All members of the staff 
have been engaged to a greater or less degree in investigations 
of the extensive Porto Rican collection of invertebrates. 


During the past year the time of Curator Gratacap has been 
taken up largely with work connected with the Museum’s con- 
chological interests, including the identificatiun of 
specimens from various collections—embracing 
much excellent material—in the Department of 
Invertebrate Zoology. In the Hall of Shells a great advance 
has been made in reprinting the old labels, through the efforts 
of Mr. Joseph Quinn; additions of some importance have been 
secured for the Synoptical Series, consisting of fossil Palzo- 
zoic and Mesozoic Cephalopoda, illustrating the earlier forms 
whose single descendant to-day is the Nautilus. Of note- 
worthy importance also are numerous species, purchased from 
Sowerby and Fulton of London, to fill out the defective series 
in the groups of characteristic Mollusca from the Molluscan 
Provinces. A few features connected with the Ornamental 
Uses of Shells were incorporated in that exhibit, and an ex- 
tension made in the Da Gomez Collection of Deformed and 
Abnormal Shells, among which the suite of aberrant Cyprea 
lynx deserves special mention; this was obtained from the 
collection of the late Mr. John Ford. With the assistance of 
the Director, and employing the artistic facility of Mr. Albert 
Operti, a series of colored photographs and explanatory labels 
will be installed, illustrating stages in the manufacture of the 
pearl button from the river-mussel to the finished product. 
A few transparencies have been added, and the subjects for

others, in the educational groups, are being secured. The 
assistance of Mr. Walter F. Webb of Rochester (a well- 
known shell collector in the Philippine archipelago) has been 
promised for the composition of four shell-groups, and pre- 
liminary steps have been taken to obtain the necessary data 
and raw material for their construction. A valuable purchase 
of West Coast shells has been made, though Curator Gratacap 
is confident it will require a supplementary purchase properly 
to complete it; the work on the study collection was resumed, 
and, with interruptions, is being pursued. The development 
of the study collection and the revision of the nomenclature 
in the large series of exhibited specimens are, and will be for 
a long time, the most important tasks for the Curator to 
consider. 


The changes in the staff of this division have retarded our 
progféss, which nevertheless has been marked. Mr. Fisk’s 
illness led to his permanent retirement, and his place was 
taken by Dr. Willard G. Van Name, formerly zodlogist 

of the New York State Museum at Albany. The death of 
Mr. Ignaz Matausch and the resignation of Mr. Edward 
Mueller after a long illness crippled the work of the prepara- 
tion staff; their places have been filled by Mr. Chris E. Olsen 
and Mr. M. Nishimura, who have capably continued the work 
on the Tide Pool Group, so that this notable addition to the 
ecological series in the Darwin Hall will be speedily completed. 


Among the new models recently installed are the Phasco- 

losoma head, the complicated Volvox 

eee i arentenrnte colony, Clathrulina elegans, Monosiga 

globosa, Elatomma juniperina, and five 

examples of pathogenic Protozoa. Others are approaching 
completion. 

The exhibit of Domesticated Pigeons in the Darwin Series 
has been amplified by a series of striking varieties secured by 
Director Lucas. The reorganization of the cases has been 
begun, new labels have been prepared, and the entire series 
of exhibits has been carefully examined and cleaned. It has 
been a source of great satisfaction that the Darwin Hall has 


68 Report of the President 


been used to a largely increased degree: 11,442 pupils of 273 
classes from 122 schools, colleges and other institutions have 
visited this hall during the past year. It remains to be added 
that there is urgent need for more room to accommodate the 
voluminous study collections, for which the present facilities 
are entirely inadequate. 


The exhibition hall has received notable additions in the 
way of smaller bionomic exhibits and specimens which illus- 
trate biological principles; the activities in this 

cney and sphere, as directed by Dr. Lutz, have resulted in an 
. unusual degree of effectiveness in the organization 

of the Hall of Insect Life. Carrying on the plans of this 
division, the Porto Rican collections have received considerable 
attention and will continue to do so. Field work on the life- 
histories of local insects is essential both for its scientific results 
and for the procuring of material to be installed in the Hall 
of Insect Life. Probably Cuba will be taken as a field of inves- 
tigation in the near future, on account of its relation to the 
other areas of the West Indies and the neighboring continents 
with which the comprehensive studies of the department are 
concerned. The division of insects is sadly in need of more 
space for its greatly amplified and reorganized collections ; 
germane in this connection is the need for a larger permanent 
staff of specialists to work up the groups that necessarily have 
received little attention aside from their routine care. During 
the year, however, much progress has been made through the 
work of temporary assistants, notably Mr. C. W. Leng, mem- 
bers of the New York Entomological Society, Messrs. W. J. 
Holland, J. A. G. Rehn and Morgan Hebbard, as well as Dr. 
J. Bequaert and Messrs. J. S. Hine, H. G. Barber and H. S. 


Zarber. 


Certain notable accessions have been mentioned in the fore- 
going paragraphs, such as the series of insects secured through 
the assistance of Messrs. Clark and Hall, and of 
the members of the New York Entomological 
Society, as well as the collections of Mr. Miner and the shells 
specified by Curator Gratacap. Additional items of special

EXISTING REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS 


Department of Ichthyology and Herpetology 


BASHFORD DEAN, Curator Emeritus 
Mary CyntuiA Dickerson, Associate Curator of Herpetology 


FISHES 


The work of the present year is summarized under four 
headings: Exhibition; Study Collections; Research and Pub- 
lication ; Administration. 


In the foyer of the Museum a temporary exhibition was 
arranged in the summer to illustrate “man-eating” sharks— 
in response to many inquiries, for this was a “shark 
year” along the Atlantic Coast, and a number of 
bathers were killed or maimed. We showed, accordingly, 
casts of a large white shark (Carcharodon), of a blue shark 
(Prionace), of a brown shark (Carcharinus milberti), also 
teeth and jaws, together with such “accessories” as pilot-fish 
and sucking-fish. In the cases exhibiting fishes in their clas- 
sificational arrangement, we record a number of changes: 
many new labels were put in place, forms were introduced to 
fill gaps in the series, an anatomical model was made (illus- 
trating the head structures of a lamprey) and a simply 
mounted habitat group was installed. This shows the dolphin 
Coryphena in pursuit of flying fish which are scattering into

the air in various positions. From a technical point of view, 
it may be mentioned that the fins in such models are difficult 
to make satisfactorily, but we believe that an excellent method 
has now been worked out by Mr. Horter, of the Department 
of Preparation. 


The storeroom of fossil fishes has been completely over- 
hauled: its materials have been effectively classi- 
Paciid : fied and rendered accessible; storage space has 
ollections is 2 
been gained and several scores of specimens have 
been worked out or repaired. 

In the collection of alcoholic fishes, much work has been 
done by Mr. Nichols and his assistant Mr. Griscom in caring 
for the fishes from the Lang-Chapin expedition to the Congo. 
The entire collection has been overhauled to insure its preser- 
vation. Our catalogue has been enriched by 900 cards. 


The examination of the Congo collection by Messrs. Nichols 
and Griscom will shortly be completed ; six thou- 
nee and sand fishes will have been listed, including thirty 
ublication ¥ : : 
species hitherto undescribed. The report upon 
this valuable series will be ready for publication during the 
coming spring. 

“A Bibliography of Fishes,” a work which has been twenty- 
five years in preparation, is now completed, so far as the copy 
of the Author’s volumes is concerned. Volume I, Authors 
A-K, comprising 730 pages and approximately 20,000 titles, 
has been printed and will shortly be distributed. Volume II, 
Authors L-Z, together with pre-Linnzan papers, is largely in 
the hands of the printer, the proof of over a hundred pages 
having already been corrected. The work on the Index vol- 
ume is making rapid progress and should be completed during 
the year 1917. It is believed that this work will be the greatest 
boon to the student of fishes that the American Museum could 
possibly offer him, for it gives immediate access to the whole 
storehouse of ichthyological knowledge, old and new, ana- 
tomical, systematic, fish-cultural, embryological, pal«onto- 
logical, pathological, physiological. And in the future anyone 


Report of the President 71 


who seeks to enlarge the boundaries of fish knowledge will 
know safely where to begin, saving much time and avoiding 
gaps in his references. For completing this work and editing 
‘it, much credit is due to Dr. C. R. Eastman and his associates. 

During the year eighteen articles have been published by 
members of the department and their associates. 


In the organization of the department a number of changes 
have been made. Dr. Hussakof, associated with the depart- 
ment since 1904 (present department organized 
1909), has retired from the curatorship, and, 
pending the appointment of a new Curator, Dr. Dean is super- 
vising the departmental work. Two provisional assistants, 
Messrs. Arthur W. Henn and Ludlow Griscom, have been 
appointed, the former to assist Dr. Eastman in the biblio- 
graphical work, the latter to aid in the study of the Congo 
fishes. 


Administration 


REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS 


Through the use of a portion of the Cleveland H. Dodge 
Fund, the department was able to send an expedition to Nica- 
ragua. This expedition is returning in January, 
1917, after six months in the field, with large 
collections of reptiles and batrachians, as well as of fishes, and 
a large series of photographs and of descriptive and ecological 
notes covering the collections. Nicaragua is interesting zo6- 
geographically because of its position between the North and 
South American continents, and because of the possible previ- 
ous land connections with the West Indies. The collections 
from this expedition will be especially valuable since no reptile 
nor batrachian material has heretofore been brought out from 
Nicaragua. A survey was made of the low eastern coastal 
region and of a portion of the western slope of the Chon- 
tales Mountains. The work will be published in 1917 by the 
collectors, Messrs. Clarence H. Halter and L. Alfred Mann- 
hardt. 

It was the good fortune of this department also to send Mr. 


Expeditions 


72 Report of the President 


Emmett R. Dunn, instructor in zodlogy at Smith College, to 
the mountains of North Carolina for two months of the sum- 
mer to make reptile and batrachian collections. This region 
is particularly interesting as a center of distribution of sala- 
manders, and presents many peculiar forms. Type localities 
were visited and some one thousand specimens collected, not- 
withstanding considerable interference in plans by floods, which 
made many localities inaccessible by the usual routes. The 
collection contains some new species and large developmental 
series with larval forms never before recorded. 

Reptile collections are being made for the department by 
Mr. Roy Chapman Andrews, of the Museum’s Asiatic Zodlogi- 
cal Expedition; one shipment has already been received. Also 
Mr. L. W. Williams, of Yale University, is acting as the 
Museum’s representative in reptile work in China. 


The department’s resources have been greatly strengthened 
by its accessions of the year, the number of reptiles totaling 
1,065 and the batrachians 1,398, outside of the col- 
lection of 2,500 Nicaragua specimens not yet re- 
ceived from the field. One of the largest accessions (861 
salamanders alone) is the collection made in the mountains of 
North Carolina by Mr. Dunn. Much valuable exchange and 
reference material from the southeastern United States has 
been accumulated during the study for the Florida group. In 
this connection must be mentioned a gift of 269 specimens 
from Mr. Arthur L. Gillam. 

A British Guiana collection has been received from Mr. C. 
William Beebe direct from the field and through the New 
York Zodlogical Society; a Dutch Guiana collection has been 
purchased; also a small collection from Argentina and Bolivia 
has come in from the Museum’s South American expedition. 
The Albany Museum at Grahamstown, Africa, has given the 
department an unusually valuable collection in an exchange 
for exhibition reptile material. Also there have arrived a small 
collection of Colombian reptiles from the British Museum and 
a strikingly valuable collection from Dr. Malcolm A. Smith, 
of Siam.

The group is large, twenty feet wide by twelve feet deep. 
The alligators are represented at various ages, the adult female 
guarding the nest where the young are hatching from the large 
white eggs. To date the animal forms ready for the group 
(wax casts colored from life) are 26 alligators, 33 snakes of 
15 species, and 26 turtles of 9 species. There are many lizards, 
among them the burrowing amphisbenian. Among interesting 
batrachians are the great gilled Siren, the smallest frog in the 
world and the smallest Bufo in the world. It is hoped the 
group will stand as a book plain to read on the reptile life of 
Florida, as well as a beautiful picture of a part of the Florida 
cypress swamps. 

Gopher Turtle Group.—The gopher floor group (5 ft. by 
7 ft.), planned at the same time as the Florida group, is in 
progress. The photographic and color studies have been made, 
and the plants have been collected; also the plaster molds of 
both animals and plants are ready for use. 

Sphenodon Group.—Through codperation with the museums 
of New Zealand, material and data have been obtained for the 
Sphenodon Group. The Canterbury Museum has been espe- 
cially active, sending photographs of Karewa Island in the 
Bay of Plenty, and of the Sphenodon burrows there, specimens 
of ferns and shrubs, and of the volcanic rock, as well as of 
insects which form the food of Sphenodon; likewise detailed 
descriptions of these and of the birds that frequent the place 
have been sent by the careful observer, Mr. R. W. B. Oliver. 
The specimens, nine in number, have been prepared (wax casts 
from models and from living specimens). The character of 
the material is so authentic and definite that it is thought pos- 
sible to construct a panoramic group of the world’s most 
famous reptile, instead of the smaller floor group originally 
planned. 

Synoptic Series.—Among the new forms added to the synop- 


74 Report of the President 


tic series during the year are many of unusual interest from 
the southeastern United States, such as the large soft-shelled 
turtle, the Florida terrapin, the Florida box turtle, the green 
tree snake, the diamond-back rattler, the southern pigmy rat- 
tler, the cotton-mouth, the coral snake and the scarlet king 
snake. Thus some of the most interesting species of North 
America are presented in their race relationships, supplement- 
ing their ecological relationships set forth in the Florida group. 


There has been much satisfactory progress on the study col- 
lections of the department. A complete checking up and 
reidentification have been made of all the lizards 
Collections of the collection and of all specimens of North 
and Research : : b 
American poisonous snakes. The collection of 
Desmognathus was studied and reidentified by Mr. Dunn dur- 
ing his recent revision of the genus. The same work has been 
done for the genus Plestiodon by Mr. Karl P. Schmidt. The 
amphisbeenians of the collections have passed through the 
hands of Dr. Leonhard Stejneger in a study for the revision 
of the family. 

The reference catalogue for reptiles has been completed to 
date, and a new locality catalogue has been instituted. The 
continual routine work of accessioning, cataloguing and iden- 
tifying new material has been carried on. The storage col- 
lection of dry material has been recatalogued and placed on its 
permanent shelves. Work has been continued on the bibli- 
ography catalogue. In this connection the department library 
has accessioned some 300 additional separates, gifts of the 
herpetology departments in the various museums of the world. 

A preliminary survey of the Congo collection reports, 1,362 
specimens of lizards (40 species, several new to science), and 
804 specimens of snakes (70 species, a small proportion 
new). The collection affords large series, especially among the 
skinks, which will be of great value in defining species hitherto 
known from relatively few specimens. Mr. Karl P. Schmidt, 
of Cornell University, will work especially on the Congo collec- 
tion of reptiles. Mr. Dunn has already completed his paper 
on the North Carolina collections made in the summer, which

MAMMALS AND BIRDS 
Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology 
J. A. ALLEN, Curator 


The activities of this department during the year 1916 have 
not been exceeded in importance by those of any other year 
in its history, although some previous years have witnessed 
greater increase in its material. 


The additions to the mammal collection comprise 1,016 
much needed specimens from Oregon and Washington, added 
by purchase; nearly 400 specimens from South 
America, mostly from Argentina, collected by 
Messrs. Leo E. Miller and Howarth S. Boyle, in continuation 
of the South American exploration work under the direction 
of Curator Chapman; about 500 bats and an important col- 
lection of fossil mammal material, collected by Assistant H. E. 
Anthony in the island of Porto Rico; about 200 mammals from 
western China, collected by Messrs. Andrews and Heller, 
forming the first consignment from the Asiatic Zodlogical 
Expedition of the American Museum, under the leadership of 
Assistant Curator Andrews. As usual, valuable specimens 
have been received in the flesh from the New York Zodlogical 
Society and the Department of Parks, among which may be 
mentioned a Siberian tiger, an ibex, two muskoxen, and sev- 
eral kangaroos (skins and skeletons of each) received from 
the Zoological Society. Among the more important accessions 
by gift are a Chillingham wild white bull, from the Hon. 
Walter Winans; an albino Virginia deer, presented by Archi- 
bald Harrison; a skin and skeleton of a moose from Ontario, 
Canada (collected by Assistant Anthony), presented by the 
Hon. George Shiras, 3d. Our thanks are also due to Brother 
Apolinar Maria for further very desirable specimens from the 
vicinity of Bogota, Colombia. 

The accessions to the bird collection comprise approximately 


Accessions 


76 Report of the President 


9,000 specimens, of which about 7,000 are from South Amer- 
ica, about 400 from China, and the remainder from various 
sources, fully nine tenths of the whole having been received 
through Museum expeditions. 


Four habitat groups of mammals have been placed on exhi- 
bition during the year, as follows: Black-tailed Jack-rabbit 
paneer de Group, Pack-rat Group, Rocky Mountain Goat 

Group, Colobus Monkey Group. A Red Howler 
(monkey) Group is nearly completed, and the Virginia Deer 
Group is well under way. A Night-hawk Group, a Domestic 
Pigeon Group and about 80 miscellaneous mounted specimens 
have been added to the exhibition series of birds. 


A great event of the year is the provision of additional stor- 

age room for both birds and mammals. The preparation of 
space for the reception of a large number of metal 

et ; storage cases of the best modern type has neces- 

ollections ; ‘ : 

sarily thrown both collections into more or less con- 

fusion, which has been extended over a much longer period 
than was anticipated, as the contractors were unable to deliver 
the cases at the stipulated time. A part, however, have now 
been received and the rest doubtless will soon be delivered. 
Besides the addition of the new storage cases for the mammals, 
small cardboard boxes and trays are being provided for the 
skulls and skeletons of the small and medium-sized mammals, 
not only more effectually to protect them from dust but to 
prevent loss of parts in the case of disarticulated skeletons. 

The cataloguing of both collections is well up to date, as is 
also the index catalogue of the mammals, great progress with 
the latter having been made during the last year. It is now 
expected that within the next few months the mammal collec- 
tion will be placed in much safer condition than heretofore and 
that the osteological material will become, for the first time in 
the history of the department, conveniently available. 


During the early part of the year, the Congo collection, 
received late in 1915, was unpacked and the specimens dis-

tributed to the various departments to which they relate. They 
were found to exceed in importance the first estimates, and in 

point of preservation, considering the long storage

Collection : : ; eee 

to those most deeply interested in their scientific 
value. The 5,800 mammals (erroneously recorded in last 
year’s report as 3,000) are now for the most part fully avail- 
able for study, the greater part of the large skins having 
been tanned, and the skulls of the bats, of the insectivores and 
of a considerable portion of the rodents having already been 
cleaned and made available for use. The preparation of the 
skeletal material, however, is unfortunately lagging, through 
lack of facilities for early completion. 

The fine collection of shrews (Soricidz) was early assigned 
for elaboration to Mr. N. Hollister, of Washington, and his 
excellent report thereon has already been published in the 
Museum Bulletin. The identification of the bats has been 
about half completed by the Curator, and some other material 
has been assigned to specialists for investigation and report. 
Assistant Chapin, of the expedition, is making good progress 
with the birds, several papers having already been prepared 
and published; and an important paper by him on the weaver 
birds is awaiting publication. 


Early in the year Assistant Curator Andrews organized the 
Museum’s Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition, financed through 
: contributions from Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Bern- 
Field Work : ; 
heimer, Mr. George T. Bowdoin, Mr. and Mrs. 
Sidney M. Colgate, Mr. Lincoln Ellsworth, Mr. James B. 
Ford, Mr. Childs Frick, Mr. Henry C. Frick, Mrs. Adrian 
Hoffman Joline and the Jesup Fund, for research in southern 
China and adjoining areas, and in March sailed for the East 
as its leader. He was joined later by Mr. Edmund Heller as 
chief assistant. Mr. Heller is an expert collector and explorer. 
He was with Colonel Roosevelt in Africa and is well known 
for his expeditions in Mexico, South America and elsewhere. 
The first instalments of birds and mammals have already been 
received, and late reports from the expedition indicate that its 
work is being prosecuted with excellent results. The expedi- 


78 Report of the President 


tion is expected to remain in the field for another year, and 
will doubtless do much to fill the great gap hitherto existent 
in the Museum’s zodlogical collections from Asia. 

Early in the summer Mr. H. E. Anthony was sent by the 
Museum to Porto Rico, to explore, in codperation with the 
New York Academy of Sciences and the Porto Rican Govern- 
ment, the caves and kitchen middens of that island for the 
remains of extinct mammals, the presence there of such re- 
mains having been discovered by reconnaissances made by 
members of the Survey the previous year. Mr. Anthony’s 
labors were amply rewarded in the discovery of several new 
genera of extinct mammals, of which preliminary descriptions 
have already been published by him in the Museum Bulletin 
and in the Annals of the Academy. He also obtained some 
500 specimens of the bats of the island, mostly hitherto un- 
represented in our collections, the bats forming the only in- 
digenous living Porto Rican mammals. 

The explorations directed by Curator Chapman in South 
America during the last six years have occupied a prominent 
place in the annual reports of this department. This work 
has not only been continued but has received increased impetus 
through his extended visit to South American countries dur- 
ing the present year. Dr. Chapman left New York May 6, 
reaching Guayaquil May 20, returning to New York November 
11. The objects of the expedition were: (1) to extend to new 
fields the work already inaugurated; (2) to collect material 
for habitat groups illustrating the bird life of the paramo of 
Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador, and of the plains region of west- 
ern Argentina; (3) to make an ornithological survey of the 
Urubamba Cafion in Peru; (4) to establish relations with the - 
museums of the countries visited, and to secure their coépera- 
tion through field work and the exchange of specimens. Each 
of these purposes was satisfactorily accomplished. The route 
of travel was from Guayaquil to Quito and Mt. Chimborazo. 
Collections were made at various altitudes, from the paramo, 
or upper life zone, to the tropical life zone. Returning 
to Guayaquil, the expedition proceeded to Mollendo, whence 
a trip was made to Cuzco and thence by mules to Lake Titi- 
caca, collections being made on the tablelands north of the 


dNouy

lake, and later in the vicinity of Santiago, Chile, and at Men- 
doza and Buenos Aires in Argentina. On the return trip the 
Museu Paulista was visited in Sado Paulo, and the museum at™ 
Rio de Janeiro. Here a successful collecting trip was made 
to the Organ Mountains. Later, on the home voyage, several 
weeks were spent at the Island of Barbados. 

Dr. Chapman was accompanied on the outward trip by Mr. 
George K. Cherrie, who, after remaining with the expedition 
through its active field work, crossed the continent to Buenos 
Aires, to resume field work along the Rio Paraguay, in contin- 
uation of the work of the Roosevelt Expedition of 1914, through 
financial aid furnished by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Dodge. In 
Argentina Dr. Chapman met Messrs. Miller and Boyle, who 
for the preceding nine months had been collecting at various 
points in that country. They have now returned to New York 
and are preparing for further work in South America. 

In the last report of this department, brief reference was 
made to the work of Messrs. Miller and Boyle in Bolivia. This 
was successfully continued to the end of the year, including 
within its scope localities ranging in altitude from 13,000 feet ° 
to the tropical lowlands. At the beginning of the present year 
their activities were transferred to Argentina, where many 
important localities have since been carefully worked, with 
results of high importance, the department thereby receiving 
for the first time birds and mammals from this portion of 
South America. 

The Brewster-Sanford Expedition, in charge of Mr. R. H. 
Beck, has sent to the Museum, during the past year, important 
collections of birds from eastern South America and from the 
West Indies, to which latter region the work of the expedition 
has now been transferred. 


Early in the year the Curator finished the identification of 
the South American mammals received prior to the closing 
months of the year 1915, and has since published in 
the Museum Bulletin summary reports on the collec- 
tions received in recent years from Ecuador and Colombia and 
from the Roosevelt Brazilian Expedition; a special paper on 
the weasels of tropical America; papers describing new South

American mammals, and a paper (in the Annals of the New 
York Academy of Sciences) describing a new extinct genus of 
rodents from Porto Rico. For the immediate future the deter- 
mination of the mammals of the Congo Expedition will have 
first claim upon his attention. Work upon the bats (about 
1,000 specimens) is nearing completion. Assistant Anthony 
has published papers on the life habits of the mountain beaver 
(Aplodontia), on a collection of mammals from Panama and 
on new fossil mammals from Porto Rico. Early in the year 
Curator Chapman had so far finished the systematic portion 
of his work on the birds of Colombia that it was possible to 
have it put in type during his absence in South America; the 
introductory portion, dealing with the life zones and faunal 
distribution of the bird life of Colombia, is so nearly ready 
that the early publication of this important volume is assured. 
Mr. Cherrie has published several papers on new South Amer- 
ican birds in the current volume of the Bulletin, but found it 
desirable to defer the publication of his report on the birds of 
the Roosevelt Expedition to Brazil till later, in order to include 
the results of further work in the same field, for which oppor- 
tunity was provided by Mr. Roosevelt. Assistant Chapin is 
continuing his work on the birds of the Congo Expedition, 
some of the results of which have already appeared in the 
Museum Bulletin. 


The publications of the department during the year com- 
prise 23 papers (21 in the Bulletin of the Museum and 2 in 
the Annals of the New York Academy of Sci- 
ences), of which 14 relate to mammals and 9 to 
birds. The 21 articles published in the Bulletin aggregate 366 
pages, with go text illustrations, 3 maps and 5 plates, as 
detailed below (p. 97) under “Publications.” There has also 
been published a Bibliography of the Scientific Publications of 
the Curator; and a Supplement to Dr. D. G. Elliot’s “Check 
List of Mammals of the North American Continent, the West 
Indies and the Neighboring Seas” is in press, from manuscripts 
left by Dr. Elliot, the means for its publication having been 
generously furnished by his daughter. In addition to the 
above, Assistant Curator Andrews has published a volume

The Museum continued its explorations in northwestern 
Montana for Cretaceous dinosaurs and, under the direction of 
Mr. Barnum Brown, secured a large collec- 
tion, of which the most important specimen 
is the skeleton of a dwarf type of horned 
dinosaur discovered by Mr. Johnson of Mr. Brown’s party. 
Important evidence was noted as to the succession of the 
formations and the evolution of the Cretaceous dinosaur fauna. 
A second expedition, in charge of Mr. Walter Granger, con- 
tinued the search for Paleocene and Eocene mammals in New 
Mexico and Colorado and obtained a valuable collection, in- 
cluding a skull, jaws and partial skeleton of an animal related 
to Tillotherium, a rare and peculiar Eocene mammal. This 
specimen was found by Mr. George Olsen of Mr. Granger’s 
party. The third expedition, in charge of Mr. Albert Thom- 
son, was engaged chiefly in reconnaissance work in the Mio- 
cene and Pliocene formations of western Nebraska, and also 
continued operations in the great fossil quarry at Agate, 
Nebraska. Dr. Matthew joined this party in the field during 
June and July and Professor Osborn in September. A con- 
siderable collection of fossil mammals was obtained by this 
expedition, and in addition two skeletons of Pliohippus, one 
found by Mr. Harold J. Cook, the other by Mr. E. L. Troxell, 
were purchased for the Museum. These represent the Pliocene 
stage of the Evolution of the Horse, known hitherto only from 
fragmentary specimens. The most important discovery of the 
season was made by Mr. William Stein during a short collect- 
ing trip for the Museum in the Eocene of the Big Horn basin, 
Wyoming. This is a nearly complete skeleton of a gigantic 
fossil bird, equaling the extinct Moa of New Zealand in bulk,

but having a huge head and high compressed beak. This is 
believed to be one of the four or five most important scientific 
discoveries among fossil birds yet made, and will be of great 
popular interest when prepared and placed on exhibition. 


The complete skeleton of the Horned Dinosaur Monoclonius 
has been installed in the Dinosaur Hall, and a partial skeleton 
showing considerable portions of the skin is 
ee ees placed temporarily in the case opposite the ele- 
vator. A third skeleton 1s in course of prepara- 
tion. A number of other important specimens of Cretaceous 
dinosaurs have been prepared during the year; the reinstalla- 
tion of the wall-case exhibits on the north side of Dinosaur 
Hall has been completed and the greater part of the collection 
of fossil turtles on the south side of the hall remounted and 
relabeled. 

The most important addition in the Tertiary Mammal Hall 
is the fine skeleton of the Californian Sabre-tooth Tiger, pre- 
sented by the University of California and mounted during the 
past year. 

The preparation of the series of skeletons of the great 
Clawed Ungulate Moropus from the Agate fossil quarry has 
been completed, and four of the most perfect skeletons will 
be selected for a group in the center of the Tertiary Mammal 
Hall, the remainder reserved for study, sale or exchange. 


The collections in the large dinosaur storage room have been 
thoroughly overhauled and rearranged in systematic order, so 
as to be fully accessible and readily handled and laid 
out when required for study. Considerable progress 
has been made in revising and condensing the arrangement of 
the fossil mammal collections. 


Storage 


The new storage arrangements have facilitated the mono- 
graphic studies upon the great Jurassic Dinosaur Camara- 
saurus, undertaken under Professor Osborn’s 

are per aby direction by Mr. C. C. Mook. Professor Osborn 
has also continued his studies upon the Tita- 

notheriide and Equide and upon certain carnivorous dino- 
saurs. Dr. Matthew and Mr. Granger have continued their

foundation, is very imperfectly realized as yet, 
even by the scientific world. The specialists, busied in their 
researches, have hardly taken time to look up and survey the 
progress of the past twenty-five years. The writers who cover 
a broader field and aim to present the results of investigations 
to schools and colleges or to the general public are apt to 
obtain a very imperfect or erroneous notion of what these in- 
vestigations really mean. It is too often considered beneath 
the dignity of the specialist to write popular articles, or it is 
thought that anyone with a superficial knowledge of the sub- 
ject can do this kind of work. On the contrary, it would seem 
that to disseminate widely interesting and at the same time 
accurate information is the most difficult but the most im- 
portant part of the Museum’s work. It should be understood 
that the popular or semi-popular books and articles issued by 
the staff involve a great amount of research and preparation 
and aim to be as accurate as present knowledge permits. The 
principal contribution of this sort published during the year is 
the series of articles by Professor Osborn in the Scientific 
Monthly entitled “The Origin and Evolution of Life on the 
Earth,” issued in book form by Charles Scribner’s Sons. A 
number of articles and notes in the American Museum Journal 
by Dr. Matthew and others have also been published, and sev- 
eral guides and handbooks upon the collections are under way.

EXISTING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN 
Department of Anthropology 


CLARK WISsSLER, Curator 


A number of small collections were presented during the 
year, the full list of which will appear under the appropriate 
head. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt presented 
a type series of stone implements from the Carib 
Indians, and G. Whitfield Smith, Grand Turk, B. W. I., some 
interesting skeleton material from caves in the islands. Mr. 
Ralph Curtis gave an unusually fine series of paleolithic 
chipped implements, some of which have secondary ornamen- 
tal workings. Mr. G. C. Longley enriched his Jamaica collec- 
tion by a number of interesting specimens from the District 
of Vere, Island of Jamaica. Among the most notable of these 
specimens are pestles and pendants of clay and stone, beads, 
a number of celts, and some decorated potsherds. Finally, 
acknowledgment should be made to Mrs. Mary E. K. Turner 
for donating a collection of early hafted stone implements 
from the Alaskan Eskimo. These were given in the name of 
the late Dr. John B. Driggs. 

Among the purchases from the Jesup Fund is a large series 
of archeological specimens from Las Matas, Venezuela; a 
general collection from the natives of New Guinea, and sev- 
eral important lots of Indian specimens from the Penobscot, 
Cheyenne, Eskimo, Tsimshian, etc. Collections resulting from 
field-work were from the Goajiro and Parahuana Indians of 
Venezuela, the Hopi, Zufii, Pawnee and Crow; also archzo- 
logical collections from Aztec, Zufi, Bonito and Kentucky, in 
the United States, and from Porto Rico and Venezuela. 


Acquisitions 


The major problem of the season was the codrdination of 
historical and archeological research in southwestern United 
States, supported by Messrs. Archer M. Huntington 

ogc and J. P. Morgan. Early in the year a concession 
was received from Mr. H. D. Abrams, the owner of 

the “Aztec” ruin near the town of Aztec, New Mexico. This 


is a pueblo ruin to which the term Aztec is applied erroneously,

it being of the same general type as Bonito, excavated by the 
Hyde Expedition of some years ago. This season at Aztec 
was in the main preliminary. The site was cleared of vegeta- 
tion and drift and the standing walls sounded. Those showing 
weakness were strengthened with cement to prevent collapse 
when the supporting debris was removed. In addition, thirty- 
four rooms were cleared in the east wing. This ruin promises 
to be one of the most important in the Southwest. The work 
was supervised by Assistant Curator Nelson, but under the 
immediate direction of Mr. Earl H. Morris of the University 
of Colorado. 

Another special problem was the chronological investigation 
of the Zufi region by Professor A. L. Kroeber of the Univer- 
sity of California, and Assistant Curator Nelson and Assistant 
Leslie Spier of the American Museum. Professor Kroeber 
continued his work of last year upon the social and town 
organization of the surviving Zufi, and in codperation with 
him Mr. Spier made excavations in Zufii and the neighboring 
sites. The result of this one season’s work is a fairly satis- 
factory chronological grouping of the sites around Zufi. 

Assistant Curator Nelson made a general survey of the 
little-known sites west of the Rio Grande, particularly in the 
valley of the Puerco; the results when published will more 
definitely define the distribution of pueblo culture. 

Another important problem is the survey of Porto Rico 
under the auspices of the New York Academy of Sciences and 
the Porto Rican Government. The field work was directed by 
Assistant Curator Spinden, who early in the year visited Vene- 
zuela, a preliminary archeological survey of the most prom- 
ising sections of which gives a tentative chronological classifi- 
cation of the prehistoric culture, which will serve as a point of 
departure for more intensive work in the islands. Later, in 
Porto Rico, special attention was given to ceramics and strati- 
graphic work in shell deposits. The sections made reveal in 
a satisfactory way the chronology of the island’s culture. A 
summary of the results was given at the last Annual Meeting 
of the New York Academy of Sciences. 

Finally, we come to field work among the surviving natives 
of North America. Curator Goddard investigated the White 


86 Report of the President 


Mountain Apache, securing new data on their social organiza- 
tion; Associate Curator Lowie continued his study of the Hopi 
in Arizona; Curator Wissler worked among the Pawnee and 
Dr. Gilbert L. Wilson among the Hidatsa. 

All the above investigations have developed new problems 
and discoveries, offering opportunities of the most enticing kind. 
It is hoped that sufficient support may be given our staff to fol- 
low up these advantages, rather than to leave them to others. 


In the department’s own laboratories important work is 
under way. The appointment of Mr. Louis R. Sullivan as 
assistant in somatology has led to the equipment 
Research in of a special laboratory. In addition to the routine 
the Museum 3 . : 3 
work involved in such construction, Mr. Sullivan 
began the investigation of the human hair as a classificatory 
character and also a study of certain modifications in the 
skeleton due to function. Preliminary reports upon these sub- 
jects will be published in the near future. 

Professor J. H. McGregor, research associate in somatology, 
is making a special study of Neanderthal man, in connection 
with which a number of important restorations are under con- 
struction. 

Mr. M. D. C. Crawford, the Research Associate in Textiles, 
completed his studies of Peruvian fabrics, the final section of 
which has just been published. Assistant Curator Mead has 
issued the results of his detailed analysis of Peruvian art. 
Curator Goddard is engaged in genetic studies upon Athapas- 
can phonetics and languages, while Curators Wissler and Lowie 
have made the final chronological analysis of Plains Indian 
societies based upon the systematic field survey undertaken 
several years ago. 

A number of local students are engaged upon problems of 
their own, but more or less under the direction of our staff. 
Among these, mention may be made of Miss Helen H. Rob- 
erts’s studies of native Indian music and Dr. H. K. Haeberlin’s 
exhaustive study of the Salish collections. It is gratifying to 
be able to report such use of our facilities, and it seems desir- 
able that further provision be made for the proper accommo-

dation of such serious local students as may find their prob- 
lems in our collections. We are particularly in need of some 
equipment for facilitating the work of serious students of 
primitive art and designing, for this is one of the angles from 
which we can best serve a large interest in the community. 


Under the general supervision of Curator Goddard the de- 
velopment of the exhibition halls has been satisfactory. The 
large habitat group for the Apache, a compan- 
Habitat Groups jon to the great Hopi group completed last year, 
and Murals ie : 
is in the final stages of construction and should 
be ready for presentation early next year. The artists are 
Mr. Howard McCormick and Mr. Mahonri M. Young. The 
Jesup North Pacific Hall has been improved by removing the 
Eskimo collections to the adjoining corridor and extending 
the magnificent collections from the Coast tribes to all parts 
of the hall. This makes a unitary treatment possible. Mr. 
Will S. Taylor has completed the last of the side-wall panels. 
These paintings represent twelve typical cultural scenes: Se- 
curing Whales for Food—Nootka; Salmon Fishing—Kwa- 
kiutl; Gathering Bark for Food—Bella Coola; Preparing Fish 
Oil—Tsimshian ; Building a Canoe—Haida; Weaving a Blan- 
ket—Tlingit; Dancing to Cure the Sick—Tlingit; House- 
Building Ceremony—Haida; Dog-Eating Ceremony—Tsim- 
shian; Welcoming Visitors—Bella Coola; Potlatch Ceremony 
—Kwakiutl; A Betrothal—Nootka. These are in fact equiva- 
lent to an equal number of habitat groups, for they give not 
only typical phases of cultural activity but faithfully reflect the 
geographical environment in which these interesting Indians 
worked out their careers. 

A special donation by Mr. Percy R. Pyne provided for the 
preliminary work upon a large New Zealand habitat group, in 
which will be shown a fortified village with its natural settings 
and home life. Miss Frances Del Mar, one of the artists en- 
gaged for this work, went this year to New Zealand, where 
sketches and studies were made covering the phases of native 
life needed in the composition. We are ready to proceed with 
the construction as soon as the proper authorization is given. 


88 Report of the President 


Our general collections have been made far more useful than 

heretofore by the increase of large tribal labels each with its 

distribution map. Almost every geographi- 

— and cal unit in our halls now has its general topi- 

tudy Collections é a : 

cal label, from which the visitor may, if he 

wishes, get the bearing and place of the exhibit in the subject 
as a whole. 

Two special exhibits, occupying one small case each, have 
been arranged in the Hall of the Woodland Indians to present 
in compact form two typical synthetic studies. One deals with 
agriculture in the New World, showing the range of plant life 
domesticated by the natives and the geographical distributions 
of the different types. The other deals with the influence of 
form upon the style of decoration, presenting concrete cases 
of the natural objective development of design types resulting 
from the structural patterns in moccasins. Though these 
exhibits occupy relatively small space, they represent more 
research and far broader knowledge than many of our largest 
presentations. 

The demands upon our reserve and study collections have 
been unusual. Developments in this line have so far outstripped 
our physical expansion that we have neither the space nor the 
necessary assistance to meet all the legitimate calls. This is 
truly a misfortune, for if our work has any justification at all, 
it is in providing reference material to every serious student 
who calls. The chief cause of our delinquency in this case is 
that, while the city and the people’s interest in the Museum 
have grown, the facilities of the department have not been 
augmented. 


The usual January lectures dealing with the methods and 

interpretations of anthropological data were given by Curator 

Goddard and Associate Curator Lowie. The subject 

Jeoabel this year was the culture classification of North 

American natives. A special series of four lectures 

on primitive textile art was given in October by the Curator, 

assisted by Assistant Curator Herbert J. Spinden and Mr. 

M. D. C. Crawford, Research Associate in Textiles. Both 
courses were well attended. 


Report of the President 89 


Ten scientific papers were published during the year in the 

bys, Anthropological Papers, by members of the de- 

Pub ieatiass partment staff. A full list of these articles will 
be given under the head of Publications. 


ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 
Department of Anatomy and Physiology 
RatpH W. Tower, Curator 


Early in the year it was decided to make an exhibit by 
models of the development of the mammalian red blood cor- 
puscles. Living cultures of blood-forming tissues were made 
for the purpose of observing and recording the successive 
stages in the production of the red cells—with the result that 
the activities observed did not agree with the modern theories 
and descriptions. Instead of seeing a small nucleated cell 
remodel itself into a non-nucleated disk by extruding its nu- 
cleus, we observed this same cell push out from its nucleus 
round, straw-colored buds which finally floated off as true red 
corpuscles. White cells of the lymphocyte series performed 
the same function, and it is undoubtedly this process which has 
been described as phagocytosis by most investigators during 
the last 70 years. The idea of phagocytosis of red corpuscles 
has remained unchallenged, since no method up to the present 
time has been found by which it could be determined whether 
the enclosed corpuscles were being devoured or being manu- 
factured. By extended observations on the living tissue it 
appears that the process is one of production of the red blood 
corpuscle and not one of phagocytosis. The results of these 
experiments show that: 


1. The red blood corpuscle of the mammal is the result of 
nuclear budding and does not pass through a nucleated stage. 

2. The red blood corpuscle of the bird, which is nucleated, 
is phylogenetically identical with the parent “normoblast” form 
of the mammal. 

3. Phagocytosis of the red cells by the giant cells in normal 
blood-forming tissue is not common, if it exists at all. 


go Report of the President 


The department has mounted several interesting and unique 
skeletons for exhibition; these are: a Hoatzin, a Sphenodon, 
a Muskrat, a Seal, a Genet and a Sloth. 

Aside from these, there have been prepared 3,126 skulls and 
73 complete skeletons, including 12 Okapi and 1 Giraffe. 


PUBLIC HEALTH 
Department of Public Health 


CHARLES-EDWARD Amory WINSLOW, Curator 


The section of the Hall of Public Health dealing with insect- 
borne diseases has been brought to a state of practical com- 
pletion after nearly four years of work. To the 
mosquito exhibit have been added models showing 
various practical methods of mosquito control (such as ditching, 
oiling of streams, protection of receptacles in the neighborhood 
of houses and destruction of larve and adult mosquitoes), and 
models, charts and an oil painting illustrating the story of the 
triumph of American sanitation on the Isthmus of Panama. 
Material has been collected for a habitat group of the mosquito 
and its enemies, which is to be prepared during the coming 
year. The section dealing with flies and fly control has been 
enriched by a series of actual specimens and beautiful colored 
drawings of various types of flies found in houses, prepared 
by Mr. L. V. Coleman. Two new wall cases have been in- 
stalled, containing a rather complete exhibit dealing with sleep- 
ing sickness and relapsing fever and with the tsetse flies and 
ticks which carry the germs of these diseases. These include 
specimens of the flies and ticks, photographs and charts illus- 
trating the diseases and their prevalence, and models which 
show how the flies and ticks are controlled in Africa by clear- 
ing the jungle and burning infested villages. 

The Museum and the Department suffered a severe loss 
during the year in the death of Mr. Ignaz Matausch, who pre- 
pared the remarkable giant models of insect-carriers of disease 
now on exhibition in the Hall of Public Health, and who at 
the time of his death was engaged on a model of the yellow 
fever mosquito, Aédes calopus. We have been fortunate, how-

ever, in securing the services of Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, who is 
now at work on a new model of this insect. 

The water supply and sewage disposal section of the Public 
Health exhibit has been extended and kept up-to-date through 
the preparation by Mr. Otto Block of models of the Albany 
water filter, of a modern chlorin disinfecting plant, of several 
of the newer devices for sewage treatment, and through the 
addition of charts illustrating the pollution of New York Har- 
bor and the plans which have been made for its purification. 

The entire Hall of Public Health has been rearranged, under 
the immediate direction of Mr. Coleman, so as to make its 
sequence more logical and its general appearance more attrac- 
tive. 

In connection with the Convocation Week meetings of the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science, in 
December, a special exhibit was prepared illustrating the life 
and work of Louis Pasteur. 

The next section of the Hall of Public Health which it is 
planned to work out is that dealing with Food. A comprehen- 
sive outline has been prepared to cover the food needs of man- 
kind, the nature and sources of our food supply, the food 
habits of primitive peoples, the improvement of food products 
by the application of biological science, the transportation and 
handling of foods, the relationship of food to disease and the 
economic and hygienic aspects of the dietary. Work has 
already been begun by Dr. Hull on the preparation of a series 
of charts illustrating the world movements of food products, 
and models of various typical foods illustrating their calorific 
value are in process of construction. 


The Museum of Living Bacteria has had an unusually suc- 
cessful year and continues to fill a unique place in the service 
of pure and applied bacteriology. Seventy-two 
new strains have been added, making the total 
number now under cultivation 716. During the 
year ending December 1, 1916, 3,929 cultures were sent with- 
out charge to laboratories of universities and health depart- 
ments, making a total of 15,145 cultures distributed since the 
opening of the laboratory in 1911. Eighty-four new institu-

tions have availed themselves of our service during the year, 
making 492 in all. 


The Department has continued to codperate with the De- 

partment of Public Education of the Museum in the prepara- 

tion of material for the use of New York City 

ani schools, illustrating the methods of bacteriology 

and the control of insect-borne diseases. Classes 

from medical schools, schools of nursing, normal schools and 

colleges are visiting the Hall of Public Health in increasing 

numbers, and lectures have been given to many such classes 
during the year. 


The year has been a fruitful one in research. The staff has 
coéperated in a systematic study of the typhoid and allied 
groups of bacteria, the results of which are now 
being prepared for publication. The Curator has 
prepared for the Society of American Bacteriologists a general 
review of the wider problems of bacterial classification and a 
new outline of families and genera which was presented at the 
meeting of the Society in December. Dr. Kligler has pub- 
lished several important contributions to bacterial classification 
and physiology, and Dr. Hull has nearly completed an exhaus- 
tive statistical study of the recent outbreak of infant paralysis 
in comparison with those of earlier years in this and other 
countries. 


Research 


Dr. I. J. Kligler, after four years of untiring service, re- 
signed in October to accept an important position ‘in the Rocke- 
feller Institute for Medical Research. The successful 
organization of the Museum of Living Bacteria is due 
chiefly to Dr. Kligler, and his enthusiasm, knowledge and in- 
sight have been a constant source of inspiration to all who have 
been associated with him. 

Mr. L. V. Coleman has also left the Department, to take a 
Fellowship at Yale University. During the year that he was 
connected with the Museum, he displayed a real genius for 
the art of exhibition, and he has contributed materially to the 
development of the Hall of Public Health. 


ta 


Report of the President 93 


Thomas G. Hull, Ph.D. Yale, 1916, has been appointed 
Assistant in the Department, with special responsibility for the 
exhibition work, while Mr. William Rothberg, who has assisted 
Dr. Kligler for four years, will have direct charge of the bac- 
terial collection, under the general supervision of Dr. Hull. 


THE LIBRARY 


Department of Books and Publications 
Ratepu W. Tower, Curator 


The year just past has proved for the Library an unusually 
busy and memorable one. To the Library, perhaps more than 
to any other department in the institution, the European war 
has come as a direct and disturbing influence, exceedingly 
hampering both the maintenance of the periodical files and the 
acquisition of new material. The publications usually received 
from the belligerent nations have either arrived at most irregu- 
lar intervals, or have not come to hand at all. Foreign peri- 
odicals received on subscription have failed to be delivered, in 
many cases leaving the subscriber doubtful whether his order 
was ever delivered, or if delivered whether the publication in 
question appeared in sufficiently ample edition to admit of 
distribution in America. These delays, plus the unavoidable 
losses in shipping and the natural and far deeper loss to sci- 
ence, make it inevitable that the year should present a dreary 
aspect in our international files of scientific literature. 

On the other hand, through the generosity of the Trustees 
and individual donors, the Library has come into the possession 
aes of an exceptional number of important and valu- 

able books. By gift of Mr. Ogden Mills was 
acquired an original manuscript by Titian Ramsey Peale, 
entitled “The Butterflies of North America, Whence they 
Come, Where they Go, and What they Do.” This work has 
never yet been published, with the possible exception of a 
single small instalment which seems to have appeared in 1883. 
The manuscript consists of nearly four hundred pages of 
descriptive matter and is accompanied by three volumes of 
original colored drawings made by Mr. Peale. Mr. Mills’s 


94 Report of the President 


generosity is further exemplified by the gift to the Library of 
a very handsome two-volume copy of the first edition in Latin 
of the “Peregrinationes in Indiam Occidentalem” by Theo- 
dorus de Bry (1590-1602), and the following three classical 
works by John Gould in five folio volumes each: “The Birds 
of Europe” (1832-1837); “The Birds of Great Britain” 
(1862-1873), and “The Birds of New Guinea and the Adjacent 
Papuan Islands” (1875-1888). President Henry Fairfield 
Osborn has also subscribed in the name of this Library for a 
de luxe edition of Dawson’s “Birds of California,” a work 
promising to be of the utmost scientific value as a contribution 
to the ornithology of the Pacific Coast.

There have been several changes during the year in the 
personnel of the Library staff. Miss Gertrude Jarman, after 
some six years of admirable work in the Library, left in June, 
and her loss has been felt universally as a distinct one from 
a working as well as a personal point of view. Miss Amy 
Hepburn was appointed to fill the position left vacant by Miss 
Jarman’s resignation and began work in July. The year 
furthermore has seen the creation of a new position, that of 
assistant in publications, to which Mr. George Chamberlain 
has been transferred from his former position as library assis- 
tant. Mr. Chamberlain had already had considerable experi- 
ence in this work while engaged in the Library, and this 
separation of the two rapidly growing departments necessarily 
will prove most advantageous. Miss Hazel A. Gay, a recent 
graduate of the Library School of Columbia University, was 
appointed library assistant in June to fill Mr. Chamberlain’s 
position. ; 


The Osborn Library of Vertebrate Palzontology has dis- 
tributed to the exchanges Volume V of Fossil Vertebrates in

logique des Publications de Edward Drinker Cope by Persifor 
Frazer, and the Bibliography and Catalogue of Fossil Verte- 
brates of North America by O. P. Hay. This work included 
the verification of each title, the correction of dates and the 
addition of new titles. The manuscript will be annotated and 
issued as a publication of the American Museum of Natural 
History.

GENERAL SUMMARY 


In the foregoing reports of general progress and in the suc- 
ceeding reports of the Treasurer and of the Secretary, the 
Trustees, the Members and the Scientific and Administrative 
Staffs are seen to be codperating harmoniously to build the Mu- 
seum on ever firmer and broader foundations, and to advance 
the great objects for which the Museum received its charter in 
1869, namely, to establish and maintain in the City of New 
York a Museum and Library of Natural History, to encourage 
and develop the study of Natural Science, to advance the gen- 


Report of the President 101 


eral knowledge of kindred subjects and to furnish popular 
instruction. 

The Museum has extended far beyond the hopes and plans 
of its Founders as an institution of value in national education 
and of profound and extensive research in many branches of 
science, and as a center of exploration not only in North and 
South America, but in all parts of the world. It thus reflects 
in this period of its development the present spirit of America, 
which can no longer live for or within itself, but is preparing 
to send the enlightening principles of science and civilization 
to other parts of the world. 


Respectfully submitted, 


HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, 
President.

III. FINANCES, MAINTENANCE, ENDOWMENT 


Few changes have been made in the method of recording 
the financial transactions of the Museum. In accordance with 
the By-Laws, the books are kept at the Museum under the 
immediate direction of the Bursar, Mr. Frederick H. Smyth. 
All morieys, except of the Endowment and Investment Ac- 
count, have been deposited with the United States Trust Com- 
pany of New York as Assistant Treasurer. Under the direction 
of the Auditing Committee, the Audit Company of New York 
has made a semi-annual audit of all the books. 


On December 31, the Permanent Endowment was $7,452,- 
453.51, which was composed of securities valued at $7,419,825 
and uninvested cash of $32,628.51. In or- 
Evsowment and der to place the Permanent Endowment on 
nvestment Account j 5 
a very sound financial basis, the Trustees at 
the Annual Meeting in February, 1916, directed that all of the 
stocks held for the Permanent Endowment should be sold and 
the proceeds invested in bonds that were legal for savings 
banks to hold. Accordingly, during the year the Finance Com- 
mittee disposed of stocks which were acquired at $1,531,160, 
and the bonds purchased with these proceeds have a par value 
of $1,744,698.84. Thus, by the sale of the stocks and the rein- 
vestment in bonds the par value capital of the Endowment has 
been increased $213,538.84. On the other hand, the income 
received from the stocks was at the rate of .053 and yielded 
$81,224. The income on the bonds purchased is at the rate of 
0434, yielding $69,045.59. By the conversion, therefore, of 
the stocks into bonds there has been a decrease in actual in- 
come of $12,178.41. 

During the year, the executor of the estate of Maria DeWitt 
Jesup made further payments, on account of the bequest, of 
$1,750,000, thus making a total of 90% paid on the bequest to 
December 31, 1916. 

The principal additions to the General Endowment Fund 
during the year have been $10,000 received from the estate of 
Emil C. Bondy and $3,200 as receipts from Life Members. 


104 Report of the President 


The Special Endowment has been increased by the gift of 
$10,000 from Mrs. Russell Sage, which has been set aside as 
the Margaret Olivia Sage Fund, the income of which is to be 
devoted to the development of the bird collections. 


As the name implies, in the City Maintenance Account are 

received and disbursed the moneys that are appropriated by the 

City for the operating expenses of the Mu- 

(Bo Maietpsetee seum. In 1916, this amounted to $212,999, 

of which $197,342 was applied to salaries 

and expenses and $15,657 to the making of special repairs to 

the building. However, owing to the insufficiency of this ap- 

propriation, the Trustees were obliged to apply $65,000 of their 
own funds to the maintenance of the Museum. 


The moneys of the Trustees’ General Account include the 
income from the General Endowment, the 
ono General income from the Morris K. Jesup Fund, 
membership fees and personal contributions 

of Trustees. The principal items are as follows: 


Income from Morris K. Jesup Fund ................0-002 $202,050.86

Report of the President 105 


Money which the Museum receives for a definite purpose 
is deposited in the Special Funds Account 

Trustees’ Special : 
Pens Rone and is expended for that purpose only. Thus, 
this account is made up of a number of 

entirely distinct funds. 


The Crocker Land Expedition was organized and carried on 
under the auspices of the American Geo- 
Crocker Land graphical Society, the American Museum of 
Expedition Fund = Natural History and the Universit of Il- 
Account 7 y 
linois, and the Museum has acted as Treas- 
urer for the funds of this expedition. Accordingly, these 
moneys have been carried in a special account, known as the 
Crocker Land Expedition Fund Account. 


The equipment work of the Museum is carried on largely by 

appropriations of corporate stock made by the 

eo Stock City. As these moneys must be kept distinct 

from the moneys received for maintenance, 

the transactions are recorded in a special account, designated 
as the Corporate Stock Account. 


The moneys that are being received as contributions to the 
building fund of the Museum are being re- 
Museum Building corded in the Museum Building Fund Ac- 
Fund Account ; : 
count, and the interest thereon will accumu- 
late and be credited to this fund. 


The Treasurer of the Museum is e+ officio the Treasurer of 
the Pension Fund. The details of the receipts 
and disbursements of this fund will be found on 
pages 231 to 235 inclusive. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Henry P. Davison, 
Treasurer.

Report of the President 123 


IV. MEMBERSHIP 


The Museum greatly appreciates the interest of its Mem- 
bers in extending its influence among their friends, and this 
publicity in regard to the Museum’s work is of importance 
equal with that of the contributions received from the mem- 
bership fees. 

Through its explorations The American Museum of Natural 
History is bringing to New York rare and valuable natural 
history collections. Through its exhibition halls, its system of 
extension to the schools and its publications, the Museum is 
making these wonders of nature easily accessible to the people 
of this city. The growth of this work is in large measure 
dependent upon the contributions of friends, and membership 
receipts are applied directly to these purposes. 


Members enjoy certain privileges: The use of the Members’ 
Room, especially fitted for their convenience; Members re- 
ceive gratis The American Museum Journal, con- 
Privileges taining authoritative articles and pictures obtained 
oe. directly from explorers, travelers, medical men, 
scientists, educators and thinkers—men who are 
doing the big work of the world in scientific exploration and 
discovery and who give their best pictures and first accounts 
here. These articles are popular in the best sense of the term. 
Members receive current copies of the Guide Leaflets on re- 
quest. They may also have the services of an instructor, if 
desired, when visiting the Museum. Members receive tickets 
for lectures given at the Museum, and notification, when de- 
sired, of meetings of scientific societies holding sessions at the 
Museum, whose programs often include matters of general 
interest. 


First announcement of all important scientific explorations 
is always made to our Members. The spring course of lectures 


124 Report of the President 


to Members included one by Mr. James P. Chapin on “The 
Congo and Its Bird Life.” Mr. Chapin returned in 1915 from 

six years of exploration in the Congo, having 
bowaten a made the finest and most complete collection of 

birds ever obtained in this region. In the autumn 
course Dr. Frank M. Chapman, in a lecture entitled “A Bird’s- 
eye View of South America,” summed up the ornithological 
work carried on by the Museum in South America for the 
past six years. 


The seventh and eighth series of Nature Stories for the © 

Children of Members were given during the year. In the 

spring course Sir Douglas Mawson’s Mo- 

ee tion Pictures of Animal Life in the Ant- 
Children of Members ‘ ; 

arctic were shown and explained. These 

included remarkable pictures of the Adélie Penguins and other 


antarctic birds and animals. 


On January 21, under the auspices of the American Scenic 
and Historic Preservation Society, a “Prologue Without 
Words: ‘Our Country’” was given. This consisted 
of views of the Panama-Pacific Exposition and of 
several of our National and State Parks, and was 
followed by a lecture by Mr. George W. Perkins on the “Pali- 
sades Interstate Park,” accompanied by views. On February 
24, a lecture and exhibition of “Wonder Color Pictures” of the 
Columbia Highway, Rainier Park and mountain scenery in 
the Northwest, taken by Mr. Henry Berger, Jr., and Mr. Frank 
Ives Jones, were presented for our Members. On May 12, 
Mr. Frederick S. Hughes gave a lecture and exhibition of 
motion pictures, entitled “Climbing up the Golden Ladder of 
Learning,” depicting educational methods in the city of Los 
Angeles. On October 26, Members-were invited to spend an 
evening in the Parks of the State of New York, under the 
auspices of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation 
Society, addresses being given by the Honorable George D. 
Pratt and Mr. George W. Perkins. Views of several of the 
parks were shown. 


Special 
Lectures 


Report of the President 125 


The biennial Jesup Lectures, in codperation with Columbia 

University, were given in November and December by Dr. 

Robert S. Woodworth. There were eight lec- 

pane coruree tures, the general subject being “Dynamic Psy- 
chology.” 

Including the lectures for pupils of the public schools, a 
membership fee of $10 entitled Members to attend more than 
seventy-five lectures. In addition to these were the papers 
presented before the scientific societies meeting at the Mu- 
seum, of which Members are notified upon request. 


For some time the Trustees have thought that a large num- 
ber of people would enjoy being associated with the Museum, 
but that, owing to remote residence from New 
screen .. York and infrequent visits, these friends cannot 
embership eas i : ay 
participate in the lectures and various other privi- 
leges that come to the Annual Members because of their near 
residence. The Trustees, therefore, have created a new class of 
Membership, designated as Associate Members. The only con- 
dition of eligibility to Associate Membership is that the candi- 
date reside at least fifty miles from New York City and pay 
the annual fee of $3. 


Associate Members enjoy the following privileges: 


Current issues of The American Museum Journal. 

A complimentary copy of the President’s Annual Report. 

An Annual Pass admitting to the Members’ Room. 

Two Complimentary Tickets admitting to the Members’ 
Room for distribution to their friends. 

The Services of an Instructor for guidance when visiting 
the Museum. 


Although the announcement of the establishment of this 
class of membership was not made until April, 1916, more than 
300 persons became Associate Members before the close of the 
year. It is of interest that this list includes residents of 144 
cities and towns of 32 States, and also residents of the 
Provinces of Quebec and Manitoba in Canada. 


126 Report of the President 


Under the direction of the Assistant Secretary, Mr. George 
H. Sherwood, systematic efforts have been made to increase 
the membership. By special invitation, by letter and through 
The American Museum Journal, the work of the institution 
is brought to the attention of proposed candidates. The cor- 
dial codperation of Members in suggesting their friends for 
election is greatly appreciated and is a fruitful source of new 
members. 

It is gratifying to report that the number of new members 

enrolled during 1916 was 654; the loss through 

Me toadas death and resignation was 177, showing a net 

gain of 477. On December 31, 1916, the total 
membership was 4,109, divided into classes as follows:

Lo the President and Trustees of the American Museum of 
Natural History and to the Subscribers to the Pension Fund: 


I have the honor to transmit to you herewith the Fourth 
Annual Report of the activities of the Pension Board and on 
its financial operations for the fiscal year terminating Decem- 


ber 31, 1916. 
FELIX M. WARBURG 


Chairman 


February 1, 1917

218 Pension Fund Report 


It has been thought desirable to preface the report of the 
Pension Board by briefly recording the most essential changes 
which have been made in the Rules and Regulations of the 
Pension Fund and also the measures for safeguarding, in 
every way possible, its investments. 


So many changes are occurring in the personnel of the em- 
ployees of the Museum, as well as among the participants in 
the Pension Plan, that it has been found desirable and neces- 
sary to institute a system of physical examination for the new 
entrants. Upon recommendation of this Board, the Trustees 
of the Corporation amended the Rules and Regulations so as 
to provide that no employee of the Museum can become a sub- 
scriber without having first passed a satisfactory physical ex- 
amination. That the insertion of this provision was justifiable 
and wise is best demonstrated, not alone by the rejection of 
certain applicants, but by having the attention of others per- 
sonally called to minor physical defects and ailments, and 
which, in the majority of cases, have readily responded to 
treatment. 


Early in the year the Chairman notified the members of the 
Pension Board that certain of its securities were not legal 
investments for Savings Banks, etc., according to the laws of 
the State of New York, and thereupon, in accordance with the 
resolution adopted by the Trustees of the Museum, the Pen- 
sion Board sold such bonds and invested the proceeds thereof 
in securities which had been declared to be legal investments. 
A list of the securities now held is incorporated in the finan- 
cial statement of this report. 

It is with deep regret that we are obliged to report the death 
of four of our subscribers, who have been in the service of 
the Museum for periods ranging from seven to eighteen years, 
particular mention concerning whom will be found in another 
part of this report. 


At the time of the adoption of the present Rules and Regu- 
lations, in 1913, the Trustees of the Corporation had the as- 
sistance of Mr. S. Herbert Wolfe as consulting actuary. Mr. 


Pension Fund Report 


219 


Wolfe since that time has taken an active interest in the wel- 
- fare of the Plan and has submitted for consideration an in- 
teresting report of the condition of our Fund based upon his 
observations, from which we quote as follows: . 


“Your pension fund has been in existence nearly four years 
—having been started in March, 1913—and it will be inter- 
esting, therefore, to present a statistical review of this initial 


period. 


The following statement of the receipts and disbursements 
of the fund by calendar years will enable you to judge of its 


growth:

The number of contributing members to the fund varied 
but slightly from year to year, and on December 31st, 1916, 
the number contributing was practically the same as at the

224 Pension Fund Report 


The significance of the foregoing tables lies in the fact that 
the average age of the new entrants is 28, while the average 
age of those who have resigned is 32. In other words, the con- 
dition of the fund has been materially improved by a reduction 
of the average age of over one-third of the total membership. 
The fact that some of the retirements took place among those 
who had entered the fund since its inauguration may affect the 
correctness of this statement slightly, but to all intents and 
purposes the change has affected about one-third of the initial 
membership. 

There have been ten deaths among the contributors, their 
ages and length of service at time of decease being as follows:

Pension Fund Report 225 


But one contributing member has been placed on the pen- 
sion rolls, and it is a matter of interest to note that his retire- 
ment was not voluntary, but was made necessary by the con- 
dition of his health, which in the opinion of your Board in- 
dicated the advisability of his availing himself of the right to 
the pension after 15 years of service. This retirement took 
place in 1914, and the present age of the pensioner is 79. 

The foregoing statistics are interesting and when examined 
from year to year will enable you to judge of the condition 
of your fund. 

It may not be amiss for me at this time to point out certain 
facts in connection with your fund specifically and staff pen- 
sion funds generally. 

I venture to say that there is no form of benefits granted 
to municipal employees or private and public corporations 
about which so much uncertainty exists as among pension 
funds. The statement has been made that the number of such 
funds which are on a financially sound basis is practically 
negligible, and, while I am not prepared to subscribe to that 
statement in its entirety, I feel that it is correct to all intents 
and purposes. The New York City Teachers Retirement 
Fund and the Carnegie Pension Fund are recent examples of 
the instability of plans involving a large number of benefi- 
ciaries. 

When I passed upon your plan early in 1913 I realized that 
there were peculiar conditions surrounding your employees 
which made it impossible to apply the data which had been 
used in the formation of a number of other funds. Many of 
your employees are connected with the scientific development 
of your institution, and the pride which they take in their work 
justifies us in assuming that there will be a deviation from the 
principles applicable to commercial annuity or pension plans ; 
that this faith has been justified is indicated by a statement of 
the age and service record of your present contributors. The 
retirement of those more advanced in age and the taking of 
their places by employees of younger ages were other factors 
which led me to advise you that it would be unnecessary to 


226 Pension Fund Report 


establish a large initial fund to take care of what are some- 
times termed ‘accrued liabilities.’ I felt that we would be 
justified in first determining whether the peculiar conditions 
surrounding your employees would obviate the necessity for 
the creation of such initial fund based upon assumptions 
which would not be applicable to the problem which con- 
fronted us. I stated that if the time arrived when a change in 
your method became necessary, I would advise you and steps 
could then be taken to provide the necessary safeguards based 
upon data derived from your own actual experience. I am 
happy to state that the condition of your fund is such as to 
indicate the necessity for no change at the present time.” 


Deceased Subscribers 


It is with deep regret that we record the deaths of the fol- 
lowing subscribers during the year 1916: 


CHARLES FALKENBACH 


Charles Falkenbach was born on July 28, 1876, in Phila- 
delphia. Nearly thirteen years ago he became attached to the 
laboratory staff in the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology 
and soon became one of the most skilful preparators in the 
Museum. His accuracy in the detail of the restoration of 
fragile specimens and his inventiveness in devising means of 
preparing them for exhibition are especially deserving of 
credit and commendation. The numerous specimens of an- 
cient fossil reptiles prepared by him during his long service 
with the institution will stand as monuments to his genius and 
aptitude. In his death the Museum has lost an industrious 
and conscientious employee, and his personal associates a 
valued friend and co-worker. He died on March 3, 1916. 


CATHERINE HAWLEY 


Catherine Hawley was born in Ireland on May 23, 1863. 
Over eighteen years ago she became a matron in the Museum. 
Possessed of a keen sense of humor, a most kindly disposition, 
and a willingness to assist those in distress, she early endeared 
herself to her associates and to the large body of employees in 
the Museum. The last years of her life were filled with physi- 
cal pain and suffering, which she bore with a fortitude con- 
sistent with the Christian life which she lived. She died Sep- 


tember 9, 1916. 
227 


228 Pension Fund Report 


LAWRENCE McKEon 


Lawrence McKeon was born in Ireland, January 23, 1850. 
He entered the service of the Museum seven years ago and 
was assigned to the construction department, where he devoted 
his time principally to the operation of the wood-working ma- 
chinery. Always of a happy disposition, his cordiality won 
for him a welcome in the gatherings of his associates, and his 
skilful workmanship merited the frequent approval of the 
heads of his department. He died on April 21, 1916. 


Micuaevt J. MILes 


Michael J. Miles was born on July 12, 1853, in Newburgh, 
New York. He came to the Museum over fifteen years ago, 
where he was employed at his trade of carpentry. He was 
steadfast in friendship and faithfully and conscientiously per- 
formed the duties to which he was assigned. Although he 
suffered from physical ills for a protracted period, he bore 
them without complaint and without the knowledge of most 
of his associates, in whose memory will linger pleasant recol- 
lections of this agreeable man and fellow worker. He died 
on September 22, 1916.
